Talalay: Shaq Timepiece
High-end watchmaker Audemars Piguet has teamed up with Shaquille O’Neal for a limited edition wristwatch with proceeds to benefit the Heat center’s charity.
The rather large (48 mm in diameter) Royal Oak Offshore Shaquille O’Neal Chronograph comes in two versions: a steel version of 960 pieces and a white gold version with 32 diamonds. In a nod to O’Neal’s jersey number, the 2 and the 3, which are in red, have been inverted so the 3 comes first. There’s also red stitching on the strap.
The company has also made a watch honoring California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
