Audemars Piguet has worked with various athletes before, such as Shaquille O'Neal and Keegan Bradley, to name a few. "Lebron is, beyond doubt, a unique individual," said Audemars Piguet CEO Francois-Henry Bennahmias. "We knew that we would do something together from the very first time that we met, there was a good connection," he added.
Lebron's signature is printed in blue on the back of the watch on the sapphire crystal. " I like to put a little of personal trace in anything I do or have partnership with anyone that has my name on it," Lebron said.
According to CNBC, Lebron is an ardent watch collector.

Its captions reads "My very own inspired @audemarspiguet Royal Oak Offshore, Rose Gold/Grey combo, Man every day I wake up I know I'm blessed so I don't take this forgranted!" He added the hashtags "#MyOwnWatchThough #Crazy #JustAKidFromAkronOhio."
Another follow-up picture of Lebron wearing the watch was posted on the same day. "Living a dream every day I wake up," he posted as the caption.
