The synergy between gaming and luxury timepieces was showcased unexpectedly during a Twitch livestream event on Tuesday. Twitch streamer Sommerset, alongside special guest Brooklyn Beckham, engaged in the new Marriott Bonvoy Land game within Fortnite. Throughout the stream, the duo discussed bucket list travel and offered hotel stays as giveaways. Beckham, situated within a Marriott suite, greeted fans while donning a long-sleeve white t-shirt and a backward black hat, with a gaming controller in hand. Notably, his rose gold Patek Philippe Nautilus took center stage.
Measuring 40 mm, the timepiece boasted an embossed brown dial with a sunburst effect, featuring luminous hours and hands. The iconic Tiffany & Co. logo adorned the dial at 6 o’clock, positioned next to a date window at 3. This automatic watch, housed in an 18 karat rose gold case and integrated bracelet, operated on a 45-hour power reserve.
Brooklyn Beckham, son of the renowned watch enthusiast David Beckham, complemented his attire with a matching gold chain-link bracelet and a gold necklace during the livestream. While Beckham’s presence as a surprise celebrity guest added an element of excitement, Marriott Bonvoy’s ultimate objective may have been to highlight its portfolio of hotels. The new land game featured four of the brand’s properties, inviting players to virtually explore them.
Utilizing a code, players could enter a park square via Fortnite Creative, initiating social interactions or exploration before “checking in.” The concierge offered two options: visiting the room or unlocking its mini-game. The mini-game selection ranged from prop hunts to races, labyrinth navigation, and exploration of rooms inspired by diverse destinations.
Although Beckham’s Patek Philippe Nautilus was not included among the final prizes, its presence certainly caught the attention of enthusiasts. For those with the means, the discontinued Nautilus with a Tiffany dial is available on the secondary market for approximately $450,000, making it a coveted dream for watch aficionados.
