The US star lost the expensive watch during his performance at the 2011 MTV VMAs but one fan in the audience got hold of it and returned it to a member of staff.
During his performance, Brown threw the watch on to a trampoline but when someone else got on the watch was thrown offstage.
Alisha Borton was the one who found the watch and told MTV News: 'I was actually on the stage right behind where the trampoline was.
'You can see me right behind the trampoline... on TV [and] you can see where he takes off his watch and throws it.'
She added: 'I guess he did it on purpose. There's the watch flying in the air, I just picked it up and put it on my wrist. I was afraid it was gonna get broken.'
