In what Sotheby’s is titling The Goat Collection, Brady is parting ways with five special watches and four pieces of valuable memorabilia.
The value of the items being auctioned off is expected to reach close to $3 million and could go even higher.
Brady is auctioning off his items as he starts his $375 million contract with Fox NFL and said he wants to give fans an opportunity to “cherish” pieces of his history.
“I’ve been so fortunate to have such an amazing journey in my career,
and these watches and collectibles really capture those unforgettable
moments and all the hard work behind them,” Brady said of his collection.
“I’m excited to give fans and collectors a chance to own and cherish these special pieces from my journey just like I have.
“I hope they bring as much joy and inspiration to fans as they did for me!”

Brady is auctioning off five precious watches from his vault, a collection that Sotheby’s senior watch specialist, Richard Lopez, personally complimented.
“In the past few years that I have come to know Tom Brady, watches have been our common denominator,” Lopez said.
“We are incredibly honored to be working with Tom in the curation of his single owner sale where we are featuring a selection of timepieces along with some of his prized sports treasures from his football career.
“Just as he mastered the language of football, he has devoted himself to understanding the intricacies of watches, curating a world-class assortment of exquisite timepieces in recent years that reflects his deep passion for collecting.”
The most valuable of the watches Brady is auctioning off is a white gold and diamond-set flying tourbillon Royal Oak by Audemars Piquet.
This watch was worn by Brady during Netflix‘s Greatest Roast of All Time: The Roast of Tom Brady and is expected to fetch upwards of $800,000.
Another high-priced timepiece in the collection is a Richard Mille 35-03 “Baby Nadal.”
This watch was made in development with tennis legend Rafael Nadal and is expected to sell anywhere between $300,000 and $500,000.
The other three watches in the collection are a rose-gold Patek Phillippe Nautilus, a Rolex Reference 228396TBR, and a Pilot’s Watch TOP Gun Edition “SFTI.”
Those three watches have a combined value of over $350,000.
BRADY’S NFL COMBINE SHIRT

This shirt is one of the holy grails of sports memorabilia, as Brady was a completely overlooked prospect in the NFL Draft.
He wore the shirt during his iconic 40-yard dash, where Brady ran an impressively slow 5.28 second time.
Brady was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft with the 199th overall pick after his performance at the combine.
The shirt is expected to sell for anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000.
BRADY’S FINAL COLLEGE JERSEY

This jersey is another piece of memorabilia from Brady’s collection that could be extremely sought after.
The Michigan Wolverines jersey is from Brady’s final collegiate game before being drafted by the New England Patriots.
In the game, which took place on January 1, 2000, Brady’s Wolverines defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 35-34.
Brady passed for a career-high 369 yards with four touchdowns in the game, and led Michigan on two 14-point comebacks during the contest.
The jersey is expected to sell for over $150,000 at auction.
BRADY’S WRISTBAND FROM THE COMEBACK

Perhaps the greatest moment of Tom Brady’s career is coming back from a 28-3 deficit in Super Bowl LI to win against the Atlanta Falcons.
That win made Brady the first quarterback in NFL history to win five Super Bowls after they finished off the Falcons in overtime.
The wristband includes the original playcard, detailing the exact plays that Brady could have called during the historic comeback.
The artifact is expected to fetch anywhere from $120,000 to $180,000.

The final piece of memorabilia is a game-used helmet from the 2021 NFL season.
The helmet is matched to multiple games Brady played in during both the regular season and the postseason in 2021 and 2022.
The Buccaneers finished with a 13-4 record that season and won the NFC South, but lost in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Brady passed for 5,316 yards with 43 touchdowns that season, wearing the helmet that is up for auction in many of those games.
It is expected to sell for a price upwards of $150,000.
