Lionel Messi’s watches – a collection worth a fortune
Lionel Messi wins everything on the pitch – and collects watches with the same appetite off it. The GOAT’s collection is valued at up to eight million dollars and holds everything from his own Jacob & Co model to a Patek Philippe worth almost nine million dollars all by itself.
Few collections can match Messi’s. It spans from his own Jacob & Co watch to a Patek Philippe Grand Complications whose estimated value alone approaches nine million dollars, plus a whole empire of rare Rolexes. These are the watches on the world’s best footballer’s wrist.
The brandsWhat Messi’s collection looks like
Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono “Messi” – his own watch
Just as Haaland has his Breitling, Messi has his Jacob & Co. The co-branded Epic X Chrono “Messi” collection runs from a titanium version in 180 pieces (around $28,000) up to a jewel-set Baguette variant listed at roughly $181,500. Skeletonised, sporty and unmistakably Jacob & Co – a watch as bold and unique as the player himself.
Patek Philippe 5531R World Time Minute Repeater
The collection’s unrivalled crown jewel is a Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5531R-001 World Time Minute Repeater – one of the most complicated and rarest watches Patek makes, combining world time and a striking mechanism. Estimated market value: around nine million dollars for a single watch. This is horological royalty, and few private collectors in the world own its like.
Rolex “Le Mans” Daytona in white gold
Among Messi’s many Rolexes, one stands out: the white-gold Cosmograph Daytona “Le Mans” (126529LN) with its distinctive black bezel and the red “100” marking that honours the 24-hour race. A modern grail and one of the most sought-after Daytona references there is – a natural piece in a collection of this calibre.
Patek Philippe Nautilus & Aquanaut
Messi owns several of Patek’s most coveted sports watches, led by the iconic Nautilus and the sportier Aquanaut. These are models with waiting lists measured in years and secondary prices that have turned them into investments rather than purchases. For a collector at Messi’s level, they’re a given.
The Rolex empire – GMT, Yacht-Master & Day-Date
If Patek is the crown jewels, Rolex is the backbone. Messi has been seen with a wide spread: GMT-Master II, Yacht-Master, Day-Date in gold and classic Oyster Perpetual. It’s a collection within a collection – proof of a genuine love for the crown.
