Messi: King of soccer with an extraordinary watch collection

One of the players in football with one of the most costly watch collections is Lionel Messi. Think of statement Rolexes, a $145,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus, and a Jacob & Co. clock named after him that boasts magnificent baguette-cut diamonds. All three of these timepieces are available for own.

The fervor that surrounded Lionel Messi’s watch game may have died down with Argentina’s elimination from the World Cup. The legendary football player has spent the past 19 years assembling a remarkable watch collection that ranges from bold statements made by Jacob & Co. to timelessly elegant Rolexes. In this section, we take a look at the tickers that hold the most value in his private collection.

Messi was caught sporting an extremely unusual Patek Philippe Aquanaut watch with a vibrant orange band before his League Cup match against Cruz Azul. The match was for the league cup.

The Aquanaut Chronograph 5968A timepiece, which was initially presented as part of the Aquanaut collection in 2018, is the premiere chronograph of the line and serves to mark the superstar as a true connoisseur. The watch has a casing that is made of stainless steel and measures 42.2 millimeters in diameter. It has an embossed black dial that features Arabic numerals and a chronograph display that is located at six o’clock.
