Tom Brady’s personal collection of watches — and other items from his storied career — will be up for grabs at an upcoming auction.
Sotheby’s announced on Tuesday, October 1 that watches and valuables from the 47-year-old’s personal collection will be for sale as part of The GOAT Collection: Watches and Treasures from Tom Brady.
Brady is parting with various Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet and IWC watches ranging in value from $12,000 to $800,000, the auction house said.
Additional items up for sale by the former quarterback include his last game-worn University of Michigan jersey, valued at more than $300,000, and a jersey he wore during the NFL combine and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game-used helmet — each expected to be sold for more than $100,000.
The Audemars Piguet watch was custom made for Brady and worn during the Netflix live show Best Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.
