The Lionel Messi watch collection adds another masterpiece

If you want to recognize a horological heat, you could be much worse than just waiting for Lionel Messi to be based on a soccer field. Incidentally, the captain of Inter Miami and Argentina national team has repeatedly proven that he has proven that he is a serious collector as every NBA record setter and set the standard again this week.

This time it was another top -class clock from Audemars Piguet that attracted our attention. Messi discovered in Miami and wore a Royal Oak offshore self -angry tourbillon chronographa limited edition of only 50 parts. The offshore was designed by Emmanuel Gueit and was designed as a more male version of Gérald Gentas Royal Oak and debuted in 1993. As the story says, Genta was horrified and not flattered by the new design, but sales speak for themselves. Actors (Schwarzenegger, Stallone), musicians (Jay-Z) and athletes (Novak Djokovic) proudly campaigned for the model. The recognition of the offshore recognition has steadily grown together with that of his cousin (the luxury sport watch og) of the Royal Oak.

Messi's version is a power package. It is available in a 43 mm housing with black ceramic with a titanium push guards and has the typical chunky reef from offshore on Gentas Royal Oak Design. The octagonal measuring bezel is available and taken into account, as well as the integrated wristweak style, which stands on Messi in the form of a rubber strap.

The skeletonized dial is now available all of the magic: a black minute with white pressure envelopes with two chronographs. Luminescent white gold hands offer a readable picture of the time, while the automatic caliber of the clock 2967 with 526 components is visible under artistically arranged bridges.

In 2023 the model became 30, and the brand celebrated with a number of funky, new versions in limited edition, including the one that can be seen here on Messi's wrist. And although this reference does not make the most complicated AP ISTTAS company all possible calendar and conceptual models, it is certainly not a slouch: the chronograph of the caliber 2967 contains flyback capabilities that enables the wearer to reset it without stopping it first. Today, when people wear their watches on the wrist, they are a technical flex and dazzling spectacle).

Messi is of course no stranger to Audemars Piguet. Already in 2012 he was a brand ambassador and AP even honored him with a Royal Oak in Limited Edition in steel, pink gold and platinum. Nowadays he can certainly be seen in other watches (including the Rolex Daytona, the Louis Vuitton Tambour and more), but there is no doubt that La Brassus takes a special place in his heart.

Asap Rockys Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5811/1G

Asap Rocky was discovered in one of the luxury sports Watch OGS, a Patek Philippe Nautilus. His reference 5811/1G, which was introduced in 2022, is the white -gold spiritual successor to the beloved steel re. 5711, the time and date model demolished by the brand in 2021 (currently there is no steel equivalent clock with a blue dial in the Patek catalog-the 5811, while white gold, is visually as close as possible.) Measure 41 mm with only 8.1 mm. Minted dial. The Nautilus three-handel is subtle and good-looking and is a classic for a certain reason. Rocky clearly has a weakness for the Nautilus. He was recently seen how he wore the Vintage 3800 reference from the 80s, the first to shrink the “Jumbo” proportions of the model.

Regé-Jean Page Breitling Premier

Make the press round for his new film, Black bagThe Regé Jean side wore a breathtaking Breitling-Premier chronograph, which may only have to go on my Hannukah list. The reference with 40 mm in rustproof steel, which has vintage-inspired, has an incredible gold-tone dial with an outer tachymeter scale, a double chronograph and talizer, applied Arabic indices and a shining syringe mobile part. Although its greater case size is an giveaway when you see this watch – with its paddle -pushers, the lack of crown guards and the classically designed dials – maybe just think that it is a piece from the 1940s. Driven by the automatic Breitling B09 production movement, but is a modern creation.
