Introduction to Aaron Judge
Aaron Judge is the starting center fielder and captain of the New York Yankees, widely regarded as one of the most dominant power hitters in Major League Baseball. Born in 1992 in Linden, California, Judge was drafted by the Yankees in the first round of the 2013 MLB Draft and made his full-time debut in 2017, a season in which he set the American League rookie home run record with 52. In 2022, he shattered that record himself, hitting 62 home runs to claim the outright AL record — a feat that earned him the American League MVP award unanimously. He signed a nine-year, $360 million contract extension with New York that offseason, cementing his place as the franchise cornerstone. In December 2022, the Yankees formally named him the 16th captain in franchise history, only the second player to carry the title since Derek Jeter held it until 2014.
The Aaron Judge watch collection, based on public sightings, leans toward high-end Rolex references with significant factory customization. When Judge was formally appointed Yankees captain, he wore a Rolex Daytona 116588TBR — an 18KT yellow gold Daytona with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds set into the bezel by Rolex itself, paired with the brand's rubber Oysterflex bracelet. It is not a subtle watch. The 116588TBR sits at the far end of the Daytona spectrum, well removed from the steel sport references that dominate most collectors' wishlists, and closer to the jewelry-grade pieces Rolex produces for buyers who want something that reads as unambiguously luxurious.
The choice to wear that particular reference on what was arguably the most significant day of his professional career says something concrete about Judge's approach to watches. The Daytona 116588TBR retails well above six figures and carries a waiting list of its own. For a player of Judge's profile and contract value, it functions less as a flex and more as a deliberate punctuation mark — the kind of piece you reach for when the occasion warrants something that matches the weight of the moment.
Aaron Judge Spotted Wearing 18KT Yellow Gold Rolex Daytona 116588TBR with Factory Trapeze-Cut Diamond Bezel
Inserted 25/12/2022
The Rolex Daytona 116588TBR is one of the most technically demanding pieces in Rolex's jewelry watch lineup, featuring 36 trapeze-cut diamonds hand-set at the Geneva workshops directly onto an 18KT yellow gold bezel — a factory configuration that commands a significant premium over standard gem-set variants. Powered by the in-house Calibre 4130 with 72-hour power reserve, it pairs motorsport heritage with haute joaillerie execution. Aaron Judge was spotted wearing the piece after being named captain of the New York Yankees, a title no player had held since Derek Jeter.
