The watch adorning Paul’s wrist is the AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Blue Ceramic, valued at $564,995.

With a current listing price of $564,995, the watch worn by Rich Paul is considered a rare and highly sought-after timepiece. It graces the wrists of some of the wealthiest individuals globally.

Despite the efforts of the players in this year’s draft class to impress with their elite Rolexes and Tissots, none could rival the elegance and exquisite nature of Rich Paul’s watch. It stands out as a symbol of class and sophistication at the event.

The NBA 2023 Draft Class Fails to Match Paul’s Exquisite Watch Collection

Rich Paul unquestionably stole the spotlight with his impressive AP Royal Oak. However, the NBA’s newest inductees made notable efforts to showcase exquisite and elite timepieces.

For instance, Amen and Ausar Thompson sported the Tissot PRX Chronograph Automatic, valued at approximately $1,995. Richard Jefferson opted for the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Edition ‘Mr Porter,’ priced at $10,900. Also, Atlanta Hawk’s 15th overall pick, Kobe Bufkin, wore the prestigious Patek Philippe Nautilus Moonphase, with a price tag of around $127,000.

Donning such elite and luxurious watches serves as a style statement, signaling power and status. The incoming NBA rookies of the current draft class aim to highlight their entrance into the elite realm of professional athletes. However, none of their timepieces can compare to the awe-inspiring adornment worn by Rich Paul, whose half-a-million-dollar masterpiece outshone them all.
