The collection of luxurious watches must be exceptionally grand to match the stature of the GOAT – Messi

The collection of timepieces owned by Lionel Messi is pricey. A beautiful baguette-cut diamond Jacob & Co. watch bearing his name, a $145,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus, and statement Rolexes are just a few examples.

Even if Lionel Messi’s final World Cup is over, his reputation for playing the clock game endures. For the past 19 years, the football player has collected watches from Jacob & Co. to Rolex. Here, we look at his prized watches.
