Basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo spotted wearing Patek Philippe

Giannis Antetokounmpo, also known as the "Greek Freak", has proven himself to be one of the best basketball players in the world. His remarkable skills on the court have been recognized with the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the 2019-2020 season. Aside from his outstanding talent, he is also known for his impeccable taste in timepieces. Antetokounmpo has been spotted wearing a Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5990/1A, made in stainless steel.

What makes this timepiece stand out from the rest is its self-winding mechanical movement with a caliber CH 28‑520 C FUS. It also features a flyback chronograph with a central chronograph hand and a 60-minute counter. Antetokounmpo can easily keep track of time in two different zones as the watch has both local and home time indication with day/night indication in apertures. The sub-dial at 12 o'clock also shows the date, making this watch not only stylish but also practical.

What’s interesting about Antetokounmpo’s Patek Philippe Nautilus is that it has been discounted and replaced with the same reference, but in rose gold and a blue dial. Despite the discount, the retail price still sits at a staggering $50,340.00 USD. However, the market price for this timepiece is even higher, reaching a remarkable $290,000.00 USD.

Antetokounmpo’s preference for this watch is a testament to its sophisticated design and top-notch features. The Patek Philippe Nautilus is not only a symbol of luxury but also a representation of fine craftsmanship. Those who are lucky enough to own one can take pride in knowing they possess an exquisite timepiece that is truly one of a kind.
