Messi is one of the highest paid footballers in the world, so he also has his own collection of expensive watches.
As one of the highest-paid soccer stars in the world, it’s clear that Messi also has his own luxuries, and one of them is watches.
Recently, the Argentine superstar has arrived at Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. The former Barcelona player was greeted enthusiastically by the Paris fans. In the photo standing and waving to the fans as soon as he arrived in France, Messi was wearing a 40mm Rolex Yatch-Master in Everose gold (the rose gold version of the Crown).
Released in 2015, this watch is part of Rolex’s Cerachrom bezel collection. Rolex’s Everose gold is mixed with a little platinum to prevent discoloration over time. This watch costs £21,900 (more than VND 692 million).

Another famous brand that Messi also works with is China’s technology giant Huawei. Originally a leading technology company, so the Huawei watch that Messi owns is an electronic watch.

However, the Porsche Design Huawei Watch 2 is still one of the smart watches with an impressive design. The price of this watch is 625 British copies (nearly 20 million VND).
