Hublot created the first of numerous limited edition watches inspired by Bryant in 2013 after recruiting him as a brand ambassador. The company began its collaboration with Bryant by gifting him with a Hublot King Power ‘Black Mamba’.
Only three of those watches are believed to have been manufactured in rose gold. One of the watches was up for auction. Bryant’s autograph appears on the back of the crystal case, making the watch even more valuable.
