Stephen Curry is best known as a Rolex wearer. The watches most reliably linked to him are the Rolex Deepsea (ref. 116660) and a pink-gold Rolex Day-Date 40 President, with a rose gold Cartier Santos de Cartier Skeleton also documented. We could not find a verified report of a newer signature watch in 2025 or 2026.
Quick answerRolex Deepsea (steel, 44 mm) and Rolex Day-Date 40 in Everose gold. The Deepsea launched at $12,050 retail in 2008, and the ref. 116660 now trades pre-owned at roughly $11,500 to $12,500.

Curry’s Rolex Deepsea
Crown & Caliber singled out the Deepsea as a standout in its coverage of the NBA Finals watches, naming reference 116660. It is a serious dive watch rather than a basketball-star flex, with a black dial, black Cerachrom bezel and a helium escape valve.
| Spec | Rolex Deepsea ref. 116660 |
|---|---|
| Case size | 44 mm, steel Oyster case |
| Movement | Self-winding Calibre 3135 |
| Bezel | Black Cerachrom |
| Water resistance | 12,800 feet (3,900 m), with helium escape valve |
| Price | $12,050 at launch in 2008; pre-owned around $11,500 to $12,500 in 2026. Newer references (126660 and 136660) trade around $14,000 to $16,500 pre-owned |
The sources do not tie the Deepsea to a particular game, so we cannot say which specific appearances featured it. RubberB’s collection round-up also says the Deepsea “appears to be” his watch of choice, which matches the Crown & Caliber coverage.
Rolex Day-Date 40 President
Becker Time’s June 2018 write-up reports Curry in a Rolex Day-Date 40 in Everose gold with a chocolate dial. Crown & Caliber also lists an Everose Day-Date President among the watches that often appear on his wrist. RubberB describes his President as a Day-Date II with a 41 mm case, which conflicts with Becker Time’s Day-Date 40, so we have not committed to a size beyond “40 or 41 mm.” A March 2026 guide from Authentic Wrist says he is photographed in a yellow gold Day-Date and a Daytona, but it gives no dates or references, so we treat that as unconfirmed.
Cartier Santos de Cartier Skeleton
Curry was seen in a rose gold Santos de Cartier Skeleton during a November game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to Crown & Caliber. The skeleton Santos debuted at SIHH 2018 and uses a manually wound, in-house movement. No reference number was given.
A Day-Date for the court and a diver for the beach
It is striking how different those two main watches are. The Deepsea is a tool watch built for the deepest dives, while the President is the most formal sports-star flex Rolex makes. Together they cover the two ways NBA players tend to wear watches: sporty on the sidelines and dressed up in the tunnel. Crown & Caliber covered his watches alongside LeBron James’s in its 2016 NBA Finals feature, which is the best-dated source for his Rolex habit.
What about the Movado Museum Classic?
Some older watch articles list a Movado Museum Classic as one of Curry’s watches. We looked for a reliable sighting or brand deal and could not find one in the sources we checked, so we do not claim it. The Museum Classic is a minimalist Bauhaus-inspired dress watch with a single dot at 12 o’clock, so if that is the look you like, it is worth knowing about whether or not he wears it.
What about recent years?
If you want to know what he wears now, the honest answer is that public records are thin. The best-documented sightings come from 2016 to about 2019. Newer lists exist but are thin on dates and references. There is no confirmed ambassador contract with a watchmaker that we could find, and Curry is more associated with Under Armour, including a smartwatch worn in training, according to Authentic Wrist. We would treat any claim of a brand deal with a luxury watchmaker as unverified until a brand announces it.

- Dive watches with a big case: the Seiko Prospex “Turtle” (SRPE series) is a 45 mm, 200-meter automatic diver that sold for roughly $270 to $320 in mid-2026. Best for daily wear on a budget. Con: not Rolex-level finish, and its accuracy rating is looser.
- Gold-tone President-style bracelets: several microbrands sell steel or plated watches in this style under $500. Quality varies, so check reviews.
