Before the Week 5 NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, Tom Brady's watch became a major conversation piece. The seven-time Super Bowl champion sported a rare Patek Philippe timepiece, reportedly valued at approximately $160,000, as he prepared for his role as a FOX broadcaster.
Brady's watch collection has consistently drawn attention, and the Patek Philippe he wore for the 49ers-Seahawks matchup added yet another striking item to his repertoire. The New York Post reported the watch's value, noting that it was highlighted ahead of the Sunday NFC West showdown where Brady joined Kevin Burkhardt in the FOX booth for the nationally televised game.
This wasn't the first time Brady's watch choice made headlines this season. Just a week earlier, he displayed a rare Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, reportedly worth around $300,000, while preparing for the Rams-Eagles broadcast. His collection also features a notable Patek Philippe: Sotheby's previously auctioned a Reference 3970 that Brady owned and wore, with an estimated value between $150,000 and $300,000.
The timing of the latest watch appearance was fitting given Brady's assignment. The former quarterback returned to the FOX booth for a highly anticipated matchup between two NFC West rivals. San Francisco entered the game undefeated at 4-0, while Seattle came in at 3-1 after a win over the Los Angeles Chargers. FOX's top crew of Burkhardt and Brady called the game from Lumen Field.
The 49ers and Seahawks ultimately delivered a thriller, with San Francisco escaping Seattle with a 32-29 victory. While Brady is best known for his seven Super Bowl rings and record-setting NFL career, his growing reputation as a luxury-watch collector has become another source of attention whenever he appears on major NFL broadcasts.
For the 49ers-Seahawks game, the football was the main attraction, but a $160,000 Patek Philippe ensured Brady had a little competition for the spotlight.
