Introduction to Kate Upton
Kate Upton is one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling industry, having risen to prominence after appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue three times, including back-to-back covers in 2012 and 2013. Born in St. Joseph, Michigan, in 1992, she built a career that expanded well beyond the runway and magazine pages — she has appeared in major Hollywood films, fronted global advertising campaigns for brands including Guess, and developed a presence in the sports world through her marriage to MLB pitcher Justin Verlander. Her visibility across fashion, entertainment, and professional sports has made her a consistent presence at high-profile events where watch spotters pay close attention.
The Kate Upton watch collection, based on documented sightings, leans toward serious horology with a clear preference for Patek Philippe. The standout piece on record is a Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5168G, spotted on her wrist during a New York Mets game. The 5168G is the 42.2mm white gold variant of the Aquanaut line, introduced in 2018 to mark the reference's 20th anniversary. Its embossed olive-green dial and integrated rubber strap position it as the more assertive end of Patek's sports range — a watch that reads as casual in its setting but carries significant weight in terms of both craft and market value. The white gold case is less commonly seen than the rose or yellow gold variants, which makes it a notably deliberate choice.
Choosing the Aquanaut 5168G for a baseball game, rather than a red carpet or formal occasion, says something about how Upton actually wears her watches — as pieces suited to daily life rather than reserved for ceremony. The 5168G commands considerable demand on the secondary market and is not easy to source at retail, which puts it in the category of a collection piece worn with intention rather than convenience.

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5168G is one of the most visually arresting references in the modern Patek catalogue — a 42.2mm white gold case paired with an embossed khaki-green dial and matching olive rubber strap, a combination collectors have dubbed the 'Green Grenade.' Introduced in 2018 to mark the Aquanaut's 20th anniversary, it commands a grey-market premium that far outpaces its retail price. Model and entrepreneur Kate Upton wore hers courtside cheering on husband and New York Mets pitcher Justin Verlander.
