Extra Time: Luxury Watches Worn By Top Premier League Footballers From Marcus Rashford To Kevin De Bruyne

 

Everyone knows that football is the greatest sport on the planet, right? Even the folks that call it ‘soccer’ still love the beautiful game through and through! Football players have the capability to make brows sweaty and pulses soar when they approach the six yard box or save a last minute penalty. 

And watches play an integral part in the sport! One of the biggest football competitions, The UEFA Europa League is partnered with Hublot watches, lasting almost two decades. It's only right that Hublot releases stunning watches like the Classic Fusion Chronograph UEFA Europa League Ceramic!

For that reason, we will be closely watching the FA Cup Final like a timekeeping hawk on June the 3rd when Manchester United face Manchester City. This is the first time the two sides have met in the FA Cup Final, in over 140 years of the greatest knock out tournament on earth. 

While there remains controversy about the extortionate wages that footballers garner, we like to think that they save their money very wisely and what better investment than in a stunning timepiece! As such, we will be running through today the best luxury watches worn by top Premier League footballers. Be it England sensation Marcus Rashford or City midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne, we are here to ensure your wardrobe is kitted out like a true champion.

 

Marcus Rashford

 

On and off the pitch, Marcus Rashford has been hitting the back of the net. With 122 goals throughout his career at Manchester United and as the youngest footballer to debut for England to date, he is a footballer to watch.

Whether it’s his charity work for free school meals across England or his rising status as a clinical finisher, the footballer is racking up the ratings left, right and centre! Did we mention he has been granted the illustrious title of MBE? This footballer is more than a golden boy, he’s footballing royalty…and at the tender age of 25.

Aside from his philanthropic attitude and pacey playing style, Marcus Rashford is also a keen collector of some of the finest watches around. We can't blame him however as we can only assume that Manchester United pay their players a substantial sum each month! He is reported to be contracted for four years at Manchester United for a grand total of £41.6 million.  Here are some of the striker’s best luxury watches;

 

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-011

 

Would Marcus Rashford really be a proper athlete without the highly sporty Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-011?

Created by designer genius, Gerald Genta and influenced by his previous works, The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-011 follows a few design codes of its predecessor. 

Using the same porthole construction, the bezel is given a rounded octagonal design which extends out at the sides of the case to form ‘ears’. Marcus Rashford has clearly kept his ear to the horological ground as this timepiece is a stunner! The dial is given an embossed silvery-white complexion which allows for versatility as well as enhancement of the applied indices and hands due to their blackened edges.  

Powered by the rough and ready automatic calibre, the 324 S C, the model lasts well over the 90 minutes of a match due to its 45 hours power reserve and provides a hardy beat of 28,800VpH. In fact, you can view this bad boy in motion due to its exhibition caseback which entitles you a view of the 29 jewels and 213 components which make up the calibre. 

We can imagine the footballer adorning this while giving a press conference in his trackies after a match or while accepting more prestigious awards in his suave tux. With such a strong heritage and iconic design, we recommend keeping your eyes on this timepiece as a potential investment opportunity. While you can no longer buy a Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-011 at retail due to it being discontinued, you can buy it on the secondary market for around £80,000 at the time of writing. 

 

Richard Mille RM 055

 

This footballer obviously likes his golf, and we aren't talking about Gareth Bale!

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

Marcus Rashford has been able to procure himself the highly lauded Bubba Watson Richard Mille. Originally titled the Richard Mille RM38 and released in 2011, Bubba Watson won the 2012 Augusta Masters wearing this stunning timepiece. The model would be updated in 2012 to further support the elite golfer and was promptly named The Richard Mille RM 055.  

Crafted out of the phenomenal grade 5 titanium, the white model is infinitely more durable and lightweight than other stainless steel watches. While we can't imagine Marcus Rashford bombing towards goal with it on, we can only assume it wouldn't slow him down due its feather-light appearance! 

The dial is openworked, giving an avant-garde feel to the model and as Richard Mille phrases it, ‘extreme skeletonisation’. Suffice to say, this is one model that wouldn't look out of place in Marcus Rashford’s trophy cabinet. 

The calibre RMUL2 is treated with PVD- and Titalyt which ensures the watch's immense durability, allowing it to withstand accelerations of over 500Gs. As sportsmen are becoming fitter, the watches are becoming stronger. In essence, The RM 055 is crafted with an ATZ bezel which is just under the diamond the hardest material on earth. We don’t just deliver the hottest news but Chrono Hunter has a snazzy fact up our horological sleeves.

Wear this model at your next stride down the fairway, shaking hands on the green for that important business deal or chant with the fans at your home ground knowing that this model will not suffer! It also has the capability to be worn under a tapered cream suit, in keeping with the white aesthetic of the timepiece. 

Owned by both Bubba Watson and the footballer, Marcus Rashford, the sporting clientele keeps this Richard Mille timepiece very much relevant and as a potential investment. Unfortunately, you can no longer buy a Richard Mille 055 at retail due to it being discontinued. However, you can pick one up on the secondary market for around £290,000 at the time of writing. 

 

Rolex Day-Date II 41mm

 

The Rolex Day-Date first hit the horological field in 1956 and has continued to be just as relevant today as it was back then.

The Rolex Day-Date has continued to be highly innovative. Have you seen the latest release during this year's Watches and Wonders 2023? The Rolex Day-Date 36 has a crazy jigsaw pattern, we can only assume that Marcus Rashford has his eyes on a model as colourful as his personality! The Day-Date II would come onto the scene in 2008 in a blaze of glory, continuing on the timeless design of the Day-Date. 

Marcus Rashford loves his gold. From medals like winning the 2023 Carabao Cup to his stunning watches, his Rolex Day Date II 41mm is crafted out of 18K yellow gold and showcases a stunning yellow gold bracelet. The collection was the first to feature a day and a date spelt out in full and it has the option for you to adorn your wrist in 26 different languages. Perfect for a footballer who finds himself venturing around the world for his sport!

As the Rolex Day-Date II is only produced in precious metals, the watches are inherently valuable. Given the ‘President’ bracelet, the model is styled differently to other Rolex watches like the Rolex Submariner which utilises an Oyster bracelet. This is due to the larger link style the President bracelet has, as opposed to the more utilitarian construction of the Oyster bracelet normally associated with sporty watches like the Rolex Daytona

Marcus Rashford purchased this beautiful timepiece at just 18 and it has been a staple of his wardrobe ever since. While it's too flashy to pull off in his after training outfit, expect this to be seen for more formal events like collecting a future ballon d’Or or a Puskas award. The watches' pricey metals and iconic design coupled with accompanying bracelet make this a timepiece worthy of your wage. 

You can no longer buy a Rolex Day-Date II 41mm at retail but you can source a model on the secondary market for around £35,000 at the time of writing. 

 

Kevin De Bruyne

 

The Belgian superstar is the ultimate midfielder in the Premier League. And now Manchester City have been crowned Premier League Champions for the third time in a row, his novelties are the stuff of horological folklore.

He will undoubtedly be the number one asset for the FA Cup final on the 3rd of June when Manchester City face off against fierce rivals Manchester United. Racking up a phenomenal 240 appearances with 64 goals and 102 assists so far, he will no doubt play a key role in the Blues side when they face Inter Milan in the 2023 UEFA Champions League Final. 

As you have probably gathered by now, the man is a machine and gets paid dutifully for it. As such, his watches are befitting of arguably the world’s hottest midfielder of the moment. 

 

Rolex Daytona 116508

 

Watches and Wonders 2023 was just as heated as any FA Cup final.

48 Maisons battled together to release a wealth of luxury watches but some had to wave goodbye and fall into the realms of discontinuation. Rolex are not innocent of this either and has since eliminated their highly lauded Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116508

Nicknamed ‘John Mayer’ due to the rockstar promoting and wearing it religiously, the model boomed in popularity. The yellow gold sports model has an unorthodox green dial which gives the model a regal flavour that wouldn’t look out of place on King Charles III, making it highly uncommon amongst other sports watches. 

Given a tachymetric scale as an ode to the Rolex Daytona’s intended purpose of being a model for the race track, Kevin De Bruyne could use it to time how long it is before he bags another goal! The British Racing green dial is a richer colour than its Kermit and Hulk brethren and the gold bracelet and case allow the dial to stand out loud and proud. 

 

The 4130 calibre is linked only to the Rolex Daytona and offers an amazing +2/-2 second variation per day. 72 hours of power reserve and a 4Hz running beat. This should keep the model pumping more than fans' fists during the FA Cup final. 

Infinitely stylish, the colour scheme brightens up your plain old black suit, allowing you to be the top dog of the office. Its sporty nature allows you to adorn this timepiece while kicking back and watching Kevin De Bruyne potentially a last gasp winner in the FA Cup Final. 

Promoted by John Mayer and worn by Kevin De Bruyne, the celebrity fest never ends! As such, this model has the potential to be a valuable investment due to its precious metal construction, its subsequent discontinuation which certainly promotes its scarcity and its sought after green dial. 

 

You can no longer buy a Rolex Daytona 116508 at retail due to it being discontinued but it sells on the secondary market for around £80,000 at the time of writing. 

 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26331ST

 

The Royal Oak collection is yet another Gerald Genta masterpiece. We’re surprised he hasn't been asked to make the FA Cup Final trophy!

Released in 1972, The Royal Oak keeps receiving a standing ovation more than the  the players when they step onto the hallowed turf at Wembley Stadium. It represented the first luxury sports model and brought with it the evergreen design that has remained in Audemars Piguet’s portfolio ever since. 

The octagonal bezel is fitted with 8 distinct hex screws that give the model a rugged aesthetic, promoting it as the sturdy sports model we all know and love. Kevin de Bruyne opts for the Selfwinding Chronograph edition which features a stunning Grande Tapisserie dial in blue. The waffle style dial allows the three sub counters at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock a chance to stand out due to their rhodium toned background. 

The hands and applied indices are crafted out of white gold, showing the extent Audemars Piguet have gone to in ensuring the finest materials for the timepiece. Only the best for a phenomenal player like Kevin de Bruyne!

Made from stainless steel, the model keeps its sporty aesthetic but doesn't resign itself to that styling. Instead, the white gold hands and indices, funky blue dial and integrated bracelet allow the timepiece to be seamless and fit in superbly with outfits for more formal occasions. With the capability to throw the model on while lifting the FA Cup to shaking hands in the boardroom, the model is versatile and ensures a perfect fit for every occasion. 

As part of the Royal Oak collection, the model is by default a stunning piece of engineering and its 5.5mm thickness means it’s as delicate as one of De Bruyne’s through balls! Ideal for the elegance of sportsmens wrists! The investment potential for this model is fairly solid as its associations with a holy trinity brand like Audemars Piguet make this model iconic. 

 

You can buy an Audemars Piguet model at retail when you plan an appointment with them. 

 

Harry Kane

 

He’s one of our own as they cry from the terrace. Yet, Harry Kane is one of England’s most loved footballers…well, aside from that penalty miss in the 2022 World Cup against France.

As a top player for the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur and an awe inspiring England player with 82 Caps, Harry Kane is a beast of a footballer. Surpassing Wayne Rooney and Bobby Charlton’s record as top goalscorer for England with 55 goals, it's a shame he’s not playing in the FA Cup Final! Since he is such a lauded player, he's racking up £200,000 a week which is why his model collection is so damn beautiful!

 

Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5968G

 

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5968G is a part of Patek Philippe’s bravest leap.

The Aquanaut collection was released after the Nautilus and as such, had to fill exceptionally big timekeeping shoes. Just as people expect Harry Kane to keep scoring forever, model lovers continually expect the best from Patek Philippe. And we think they tackled it remarkably well.

The release of the Aquanaut collection in 1997 meant it had to fit in with the new generation of the young and hip. In fact, it was the first lineup released since the Nautilus back in the 1970s. With such a wait, the Aquanaut had to stand out and represent the ideals of the time. As it happened, it epitomised the times perfectly! While the design was influenced by the Nautilus, the Aquanaut suited a younger dynamic due to updates like a tropical strap and funky geosphere dial design. 

Nowadays, the 5968G model is chic and comfortably sits within the contemporary side of Patek Philippe’s history. Representing the first white gold edition of the self winding timepiece, the bold khaki green colour of the dial and composite strap all point to the increasingly colourful horological landscape of the modern era, and we love it! The gold applied numerals are luminescent and match the 60 minute counter at 6 o'clock, as well as the date aperture situated at 3 o'clock. 

The case is satin polished, resulting in a sublime shine and its 120 metres of water resistance ensures it can be taken straight into the shower following a hard training session. Beating at 4Hz and with a fairly solid power reserve of 55 hours, the model is reliable and can withstand being separated from you while you lift the FA Cup or other silverware!

This can be worn while putting some miles on the treadmill in your Spandex tracksuit watching the FA Cup Final to exchanging paperwork in the office in your smartest suit. The green dial and strap is vibrant, especially with the geosphere pattern which allows the model to be youthful and not get your outfit stuck in the past. 

Crafted from white gold, the model utilises precious metals not to mention keeping with the modernity of the regarded Aquanaut collection, allowing this timepiece to be considered as a possible investment piece. 

 

You can buy a Patek Phillipe Aquanaut 5968G at retail for £60,950 at the time of writing. 

 

Rolex Daytona Rainbow 

 

The Rolex Daytona Rainbow sprung onto the scene in 2012, bringing with it a whole different side of the Rolex Daytona.

The Rolex Daytona on its own accord is a stunning collection. Its demand has promptly risen due to its associations with Paul Newman and Eric Clapton, resulting in its value on the secondary market almost doubling past its retail figures. 

Like David Beckham, there's another Golden Balls in town. Harry Kane likes his golden boots as seen through his being awarded the golden boot in the Premier League to the 2018 World Cup. It only makes sense that his watches follow suit! Crafted out of Rolex’s own Everose gold, the tachymetric scale is replaced with a stunning array of sapphires, circling in a fantastic rendition of a rainbow. 

Even down to the lugs and the crown guards, they are given 56 brilliant cut diamonds to be placed in between them, not to mention the 11 baguette cut sapphires which replace the indices. Why only 11? 12 o’clock is replaced with a Rolex logo, reminding you that the model relates to a brand stemming back to 1905. 

Worn by a few celebrities like Adam Levine and French footballer Antoine Griezmann, the model can be worn to the most prestigious fashion shows and still come out with compliments! And if you have run out of prawn sandwiches, this model can be worn in the executive box when you are eagerly watching the FA Cup Final. 

Its phenomenal array of jewels and rich heritage allow it to possibly be a strong buy in the long term. You can no longer buy a Rolex Daytona Rainbow at retail due to it being discontinued, but you can get it on the secondary market for around £500,000 at the time of writing. 

 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15407ST

 

If you thought the Royal Oak collection couldn't get any better, wait until you lock eyes with this bad boy!

While sadly removing the classic Grande Tapisserie dial, the model is given a stunning openworked dial face, allowing a direct view into the operations of the model. It's an exchange we’re more than happy to see on a model as intricate as a Royal Oak!

This edition of the Royal Oak utilises a patented geometry of a second balance wheel and balance spring assembly on the same axis. This means that while the craftsmanship is incredibly tough to create, the model is infinitely more precise and stable when it comes to everyday life. Even Harry Kane’s physical playing style couldn't stop this beast from running!

Crafted out of stainless steel, the model still relates to its roots as the first ever luxury sports model. While you may think the openworked dial makes the indices tough to see, the applied pink gold indices and hands stand out superbly, not to mention they are dosed with luminescence to further enhance visibility. 

When Harry Kane isn't knocking in goals for fun, he’s out supporting his foundation, The ‘Harry Kane Foundation’. This means he’ll always have to bring his A game to the horological table, hence selecting the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Its avant garde dial style and sleek design is the true definition of a luxury sports model. It's more than capable of dealing with the rough and tumble of the sports world like the FA Cup Final. We wouldn't recommend it however!

Associated with the highly lauded Royal Oak collection and given a unique skeletonised dial, we do have a soft spot for AP.

 

You can buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15407ST at retail for £63,700 at the time of writing. 

 

Erling Haaland

 

Strong, clinical and with flowing hair reminiscent of a starring role in Vikings, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has been the hottest thing since literally sliced bread. And even that would turn to crumbs at the sight of the striker's stats for the 2022/23 season. Breaking the record for most goals in one season with 52 in total, he’s beaten both Andy Cole’s, Alan Shearers and Mo Salah’s stunning records!

It makes sense that Erling Haaland’s unorthodox striking style be rewarded with a large chunk of money, ready to be spent on high quality watches! Who knows, we may catch him wearing one if he lifts the trophy during the FA Cup Final!

 

Rolex Daytona ‘Eye Of The Tiger’

 

We are better than making cheap puns at the expense of the song ‘Eye Of The Tiger’. After all we are ‘Survivor(s)’... sorry.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

The Eye Of The Tiger timepiece represents the outlandish yet bold side of Rolex. Whilst some watches can be a tad vanilla in comparison to let’s say Richard Mille, this daring timepiece houses 36 cut diamonds while its crisp sub counters work superbly against the black lacquer dial. The resulting shine is truly a marvel to behold and not a watch we would even think about taking out of the house…or on a celebratory bus tour if he wins the FA Cup.

Sized at 40mm, the watch is crafted with an 18K yellow gold oyster case and houses the highly lauded 4130 calibre that's typically linked to the legendary Rolex Daytona. The watch still offers an array of sporty aesthetics like the Oysterflex elastomer strap which allows for comfort while giving a sportier edge than a yellow gold bracelet. 

The Cerachrom ceramic bezel is replaced with 30 trapeze-cut diamonds which are constructed to be invisibly set together, the subsequent style looking like one long diamond stretching round the timepiece. Clearly matching his sparkling form on the pitch for the Blues with an astonishing six hat tricks already in the 2022/23 season.

Associated with other celebrities like DJ Khaled, the ‘Eye of the Tiger’ is designed to be worn with pride. As such, you should wear this watch like Erling Haaland, with a crisp white jumper to match his blonde, flowing locks! 

If you aren't so lucky in the hair department, you can easily pull this off with a black suit to match the strap or go further with a black jacket and gold stitching to look more glammed up than the FA Cup Final trophy. The watch is endowed with diamonds and provides a different side to the Rolex Daytona. This means it's exceptionally collectable and may increase in value. 

 

You can no longer buy a Rolex Daytona Eye Of The Tiger at retail due to it being discontinued. However, you can buy it on the secondary market for around £180,000 at the time of writing. 

 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Black Panther

 

Limited to 250 pieces, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Black Panther links to the Marvel universe of Stan Lee, specifically the world of Black Panther.

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

As part of the ‘Concept’ branch from Audemars Piguet, the watch is unique in its construction. The case is crafted out of sandblasted titanium, a material as durable and as nifty as Erling Halland himself. The watch has titanium inserts to go with the case, a black ceramic bezel and crown and a glare proof sapphire crystal to ensure you can see the stunning artwork within. 

The dial features a white gold 3D Black Panther figure which stands out against the purple inner bezel and white gold hands which are given the usual run over of luminescence. The strap is crafted out of rubber and is purple in order to fit in with the dark stylings of the timepiece itself. Complemented with a titanium folding clasp, the watch will never fall off the wrist, even when moving at the same speed in the FA Cup Final!

The calibre 2965 entitles the user to fantastic functions like a flying tourbillon with hours and minutes. With a resounding power reserve of 72 hours and a steady beat of 21,600VpH, the timepiece is essentially a work of art! Did we mention the Black Panther figure was hand painted for all 250 pieces? As unique as Haaland’s barnet.

You don't have to be a Stan Lee superfan to enjoy the superhero universe and that's why it's a timepiece that can suit most outfits! Dress this down with a black harrington jacket to keep with the mystery of the watch's charm or dress it up with a navy overcoat for those colder days heading to the office. 

Capped at 250 pieces and featuring extraordinary artwork as creative as Rembrandt, the watches are not only a masterpiece but very few and far between. With a stunning representation of Audemars Piguet’s ‘Concept’ collection, these watches have the potential to increase in value over time. You can buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Black Panther at retail when you plan an appointment with them.

 

Mo Salah

 

The Liverpool and former Chelsea footballer is a blight on most teams defences due to his rapid pace and nifty dribbling. While Liverpool unfortunately won't be playing at the FA Cup Final, we can still appreciate the footballers wondrous ball skills!

Mo Salah is a regular player of his national team and an all round technically gifted footballer. Elected for the Premier League Golden Boot in 2022 and given a Puskas award in 2018 for his phenomenal finish against Everton, he is one heck of a player and another miss during the FA Cup Final! With stats like 23 goals and 13 assists in 35 games last season as well as 19 goals and 11 assists in 37 games this year, Mo-Salah is an incredible playmaker and finisher! It’s probably why he also has bagged himself a tasty timepiece too!

 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 26238ST.OO.A340CA.01

 

Mo-Salah certainly loves his Audemars Piguet watches!

 

The Egyptian star has been known to wear a stunning rendition of the Royal Oak Offshore, as it comes in a sublime baby blue colour aesthetic. To be precise, the dial and the strap follow this stunning colour. The orange numbering in the black sub dials and the second hand allows clear legibility against the dial. 

The dial features a stunning Méga Tapisserie finish, or the waffle finish to those nickname lovers! It gives more dimensions to the model and allows the sub dials, hands and white gold indices to be easily distinguishable.

The case is crafted out of stainless steel which keeps with the sporty nature of the ‘first ever luxury sports model’. The crown and push pieces are made of the highly durable rubber which matches the same material as the rubber strap. Providing a hardy 70 hour power reserve and a beat of 28,800VpH, this is one hell of a model!

The model is suave and will suit most outfits due to its timeless construction. From being beachside in the Mediterranean watching the FA Cup Final in your trunks to sealing multi-million pound deals in your finest suit, this model will fit all manner of occasions.

The association with the stunning Royal Oak collection and the unique baby blue colour aesthetic is an eye catcher for collectors interested in luxury watches and could potentially be your next big investment! You can buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding at retail for £33,200 at the time of writing. 

 

Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire

 

It only makes sense that Mo-Salah buys a model that has a lot of bang in it and is as precise as his left foot!

 

​​

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

The model is crafted entirely out of synthetic sapphire. Now, “The Art of Fusion” is synonymous with Hublot. But they have mastered the art of using such a material as its see through properties and immense durability allow it to craft a model which is as tough as it is gorgeous to look at. 

The see through style choice Hublot has gone for with this timepiece continues throughout the model. The dial is transparent due to it only being a composite resin skeleton dial. Furthermore, the only visible parts are the 5 hex titanium screws which give the link to the Big Bang collection. This avant-garde dial influence means we can see the entirety of the movement from literally every angle!

The movement is exceptional in its own right. Boasting a 72 hour power reserve, the ‘open heart’ style is structured with a double coupling system and column wheel, allowing the model to be extremely precise under all circumstances. 

Overall, the model is classy and refined but allows a slight industrial edge through the titanium screws, in order to keep the model looking youthful and ready for action. A bit like Salah himself. The transparent strap means you can wear this while watching the FA Cup Final at home while the avant-garde visuals allow the watch to be paired with more dressed up attire like a crisp white suit shirt in keeping with the pure design or a black denim jacket for those casual Fridays. 

The model has the potential to hold its own in terms of value due to its highly unorthodox construction and association with the phenomenal attacker! You can buy a Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire at retail for £59,000 at the time of writing. 

 

Conclusion
