Euro 2021, one of the major sporting events of the year, will start on 11 June. Originally planned for 2020, this football competition, which takes place every 4 years, unfortunately had to be postponed given the COVID-19 pandemic. The best European teams will thus have the opportunity to compete during the Euro, but it is outside the field that our attention is focused and more precisely on the wrists of the star players. It is well known that luxury watches and sports cars are popular with footballers. We invite you to discover a special Euro 2021 selection:
Kylian Mbappé, a legendary ambassador:
Bondy’s prodigy is an ambassador for the Hublot brand. In line with the vision of Jean Claude Biver who wanted to be present in the world of football, Kylian Mbappé only wears watches of the brand since the beginning of his contract in 2018. This contract with Hublot is his second largest contract after that of the Nike equipment manufacturer. Moreover, in the private sphere, the young striker was seen several times with Audemars Piguet watches on his wrist.
Robert Lewandowski, a keen amateur:
The striker of the formidable Bayern Munich is also an enlightened watchmaker. It has in its collection Royal Oak chronographs as well as Nautilus (5726, 5980R...) Or even a superb Aquanaut 5167 here in press conference.
Cristiano Ronaldo, fan of exceptional watches:
The Portuguese international has more "bling bling" tastes in terms of timepieces. A big fan of Franck Muller, Cristiano Ronaldo regularly appears in press conferences or at awards ceremonies with exceptional watches. For example, the coin below consists of 424 diamonds for a value of 1.5 million euros.
Erling Haaland, a Rolex fan:
The new favourite of European football is already renowned for its passion for fine watches. The Dortmund striker has, among other things, many Rolex including this Daytona 116508 in yellow gold/green dial configuration that does not go unnoticed.
Karim Benzema, a great collector of luxury watches:
And to celebrate the return of Karim Benzema to the French team, let’s focus on a tiny part of his collection with this superb Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980R-001, which has a rating of more than €100,000 on the market today.
As you would have understood, football players are big fans of beautiful watches and that’s not likely to change anytime soon.
