Lionel Messi captured attention off the field during a recent "Inter Miami" match when cameras spotted the Argentine star wearing an ultra-rare Rolex Daytona "Barbie" watch valued at nearly one million dollars.
"The timepiece represents precision and excellence—qualities I've always strived for in my career," Messi reportedly mentioned when asked about his luxurious accessory.
The Rolex Daytona 126538TRO "Barbie" quickly became a hot topic among luxury enthusiasts and watch collectors on social media after making its appearance on Messi's wrist. The distinctive timepiece stood out even among the typically flashy accessories seen in professional sports.
Interestingly, Messi's choice wasn't random. In the world of sports and entertainment celebrities, Rolex has long been associated not just with timekeeping accuracy but with impeccable style and status. The brand perfectly aligns with the footballer's carefully curated public image.
By sporting such an exclusive watch, the Argentine football genius once again highlighted his refined taste and ability to select the finest things in life—a skill that mirrors his talent for making the right decisions on the pitch.
Will other football stars follow Messi's lead in the luxury watch game? The competition might soon extend beyond the field to players' wrists.
