Basketball player James Harden spotted wearing Richard Mille

Basketball enthusiasts and watch aficionados alike will have something to talk about now that James Harden, the Brooklyn Nets’ newest addition, was seen sporting a Blue Carbon NTPT Richard Mille RM11-03 ‘Jean Todt’ watch. The Swiss timepiece is one of only 150 pieces produced, making it an unparalleled collector’s item.

The RM11-03 is priced at a list price of £150,000 or $200,000, but the current market value skyrockets up to £500,000 or $680,000. The watch is made of a unique material called Blue Carbon NTPT, and it features red accents and an automatic movement with a flyback chronograph that is water-resistant up to 50 meters.

The reason for the watch’s exclusivity is partly due to Richard Mille’s partnership with Jean Todt, a renowned motorsports figure who worked with Ferrari and Peugeot, and is now the president of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile). The watch also embodies Richard Mille’s mission to create ultra-high-end timepieces that are made of innovative materials and that align with the lifestyles of its clientele.

James Harden has certainly chosen a statement piece for his wrist, and one that demonstrates his taste for luxury and craftsmanship. The watch also adds to his already impressive collection of timepieces, which includes a Patek Philippe Nautilus and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

For those who are interested in owning a piece of timepiece history, the Blue Carbon NTPT Richard Mille RM11-03 ‘Jean Todt’ watch is a true gem. With its rarity and prestige, this watch is sure to be the envy of watch collectors and basketball fans alike.
