Watch Collection of the Humble Hakim Ziyech Of Morocco

The recent World Cup 2022 in Doha, Qatar, is one of the best football events ever! So many stories, so much happiness, so many hot matches, etc.

One country that made new history by coming so far to the semi-final for the very first time is Morocco. Until now, people have been talking about Morocco. The team lost its semi-final match against France in a tournament, but they surely will inspire a new generation of Arab and African footballers. 

Fans say that the team lost the tournament, but they won their fans' hearts worldwide.

I also remember seeing emotional pictures of one of the players, Soufiane Boufal, celebrating the team's win over Portugal by dancing with his mother on the field. And once again, Morocco stole the hearts of their fans. 

Another player who, I would say, became a trending topic is Hakim Ziyech. The winger for Morocco and Chelsea team reportedly is giving his World Cup profits to the poor people in his country, according to several media reports.

Nicknamed the Wizard for his playmaking skills on the pitch, Ziyech has also been anointed as a charitable individual outside the pitch. 

A sum of $277,575.90 from his World Cup bonuses will be gifted to those in need in Morocco. 

What a generous gesture!

To pay some respects to Hakim Ziyech, I am writing this article. Let's find out which watches this generous soul owns...

Let's start off with the watch that was spotted during the tournament. Like some fellow football players like Robert Lewandowski, Luka Modric, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Hakim has the rose gold Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1R. This timepiece presents a black gradient dial with rose gold applied hour markers and luminescent coating

The 40.5mm watch features a chronograph function at 6 o'clock and a date display at 3 o'clock that offers incomparable class and technical precision for an active lifestyle.  

Retail price: $153,450. 

The zippy Ziyech is known for his electric and varied collection of watches, including none other than perhaps one of the most wearable of all the Nautilus models: the Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990/1A in steel.

It features a new blue dial with a ray sunburst dial and a delicate black gradation to the periphery.

The self-winding caliber CH 28-520 C FUS movement combines three convenient and user-friendly complications: a flyback chronograph, a Travel Time function (two time zones with two separate hour hands; the skeletonized hand shows home time) and an analog date at 12 o'clock which is synchronized with local time.

Market price: ~$180,000.

The next Nautilus that can be found in Ziyech watch collection is the iced-out Patek Philippe Nautilus 5719/10G.

The timepiece that also Mark Wahlberg and Drake has features a dial that is fully set with 255 diamonds and 3 baguette-cut diamond hour markers.

Market price: ~$800,000.

This is definitely a watch loved by many celebrities and athletes. Not only Hakim Ziyech of Morocco owns this watch, but also Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Frank Lampard, Drake, DJ Khaled, and etc.

I'm talking about the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph 5948A features the classic Aquanaut’s square pattern in dark grey with orange on both the second's hand and the sub-counter. The timepiece is matched with an orange strap. 

Market price: ~$140,000.

The picture shows a Richard Mille RM030 Automatic 'Black Dash' on his wrist. 

It features black TZP sand-blasted ceramic front and back bezels, while its baseband comprises incredibly strong and light black TPT (Thin Ply Technology) carbon.

The limited edition of 50 pieces watch has a retail price of $140,000.

I found this old picture of him where we can see a rose gold Rolex Sky-Dweller 326935 on his wrist.

The 42mm features a slate dial and an oyster bracelet. 

This distinctive watch is characterized by its second time zone display on an off-centre disc on the dial. Furthermore, its innovative system for setting the functions, using the rotatable Ring Command bezel, is unique to Rolex.  

Market price: ~$64,000.

Interestingly, Hakim Ziyech also has custom watches from Artisans De Geneve.

A brief explanation about Artisans De Geneve: "We are independent company specialized in the personalization of timepieces. We are not affiliated with ROLEX SA nor authorized by them to intervene on their products for any reason whatsoever. This personalization was ordered by a customer, who owns a Rolex® timepiece, for his private use. It is an example of our know-how and the personalization services we offer at our customers' request."

For this challenge, their client wished to use autumnal colors and specific materials — a rugged stone-gray, the color of the trees and lemon groves, the reflection of water — to evoke his childhood memories.

The second Artisans De Geneve watch that was spotted on Ziyech's wrist is The Pearl Challenge.

Their client entrusted them with an incredible challenge to reinterpret his timepiece as a skeleton. It took all the devotion of their artisans to bring this unprecedented project to life. 

Let me close this article 'Watch Collection of the Humble Hakim Ziyech' by showing another pic of the Morocco team that was able to catch fans' hearts. The picture shows the players went into sajda after semi-final qualification.
