Washington Wizards\u2019 Kyle Kuzma\u2019s on his fifth year in the NBA and it looks like he has settled in quite nicely. A bankable starter and dynamic scorer, the 27-year-old just played the best basketball of his career last season.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s not on the court, Kyle is passionate about style and fashion. Often flashy and sometimes outrageous, his ensembles are always tailored to his 6-foot-7 frame. On his wrist are well-curated pieces that make a statement. Check out the watches of Kyle Kuzma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Rolex Day-Date 40 Yellow Gold<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Rolex President Day-Date<\/a> has become the de facto timepiece of NBA players. Known for its place on the wrists of world leaders and US Presidents, this watch\u00a0was made more contemporary with a 40mm edition. Today, it\u2019s often worn in the most casual of settings.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Kyle has the solid 18k yellow gold model, complete with a contrasting black dial and a polished finish. Baguette diamond hour markers and brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel add a contemporary feel. Powering the watch is the updated Caliber 3255, which offers a 70-hour power reserve and vast improvements in reliability and precision.

Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold 16528<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Kyle seems to love the contrast between gold and black, and he has yet another timepiece in the stunning combination. An intriguing take on the classic Daytona<\/a>, his choice model comes in a yellow gold finish, with a black dial and gold-outlined brilliant cut diamonds.<\/p>\n

What makes Kyle\u2019s Daytona unique is the apparent flaw on the dial \u2013 which could be missed if you don\u2019t look attentively. It still has the famed “inverted 6” dial, which is defined by the numeral “6” at 6 o’clock on the sub-dial being printed upside down, giving it the appearance of a 9. Later designs use an upside-down 6, avoiding any potential confusion.\u00a0Photo from Kyle Kuzma on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Rose Gold<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

From Patek, Kyle likes his watches classic, but with a twist. He wears the ever-famous 5711 edition of the Patek Philippe Nautilus<\/a> \u2013 and while he can certainly get his hands on the much coveted stainless steel version, he chose the one in 18k rose gold.<\/p>\n

Kyle\u2019s preferred model has a guilloch\u00e9 chocolate brown dial with horizontal lines and superb reflections. This creates a lively and precious face, changing from dark brown to light cream. The hands match the warm exteriors and so do the applied indices, while the date window at 3 o\u2019clock is outlined with a gold ring.

Patek Philippe World Time 5130 White Gold<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kyle\u2019s busy and jet-setting schedule also benefits from a worldtimer, and his choice is the Patek Philippe Complications<\/a> ref. 5130 in 18k white gold. Without a doubt, this timepiece is the best and most elegant worldtimer ever produced.<\/p>\n

The ref. 5130 measures about 39.5mm and combines the precious metal with a silvery white guilloch\u00e9 dial. Gold applied hour markers add interest, while a 24-hour disc with a day\/night indicator makes it possible to quickly see the time in all 24 time zones. Kyle can wear this extremely detailed watch in any setting, but it looks most at home under the cuff.\u00a0Video from GQ Sports on YouTube<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
