Football legend Lionel Messi turned heads during Inter Miami's 0-0 draw against Cincinnati on Saturday, sporting a dazzling pink Rolex Daytona "Barbie" watch valued at £700,000. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, serving a one-game suspension for missing the MLS All-Star event, watched from the stands alongside his 12-year-old son Thiago, dressed in a crisp white shirt and beige shorts.
The showstopping accessory – crafted from pink sapphire crystal and 18-carat yellow gold – aligns perfectly with Inter Miami's signature pink aesthetic. Rolex produced just 10 units of the "Barbie" Daytona, never publicly advertising the design. Instead, the brand reportedly offered it exclusively to top-tier clients through private invitations dubbed "The Call from The Crown."
While the watch initially retailed for approximately £310,000, its scarcity has driven resale estimates above £700,000. Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg remains the only other celebrity confirmed to own one, spotted wearing the distinctive piece earlier this year.
Post-match, Messi attended a Coldplay concert with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three sons. The couple humorously avoided the stadium's "kiss cam" moment, contrasting with enthusiastic fan participation during the show. The football icon continues making waves both on and off the pitch, blending sportsmanship with high-profile luxury statements
