Defeating the Croatia National Team under the lead of Captain Luka Modric at the World Cup 2022 in Doha, Qatar, the Argentina National Football Team secures their spot in the final round against the France football team. The final match will be held this Sunday, on 18 December 2022, right before Christmas.


The Argentina team, popularly known as Albiceleste, is the world's third-best football team, after Brazil and Belgium, according to the current FIFA rankings. The team is renowned for its beautiful style of play and the high-profile names in the squad, led by captain Lionel Messi.


As a watch lover, I'm also more interested in the watch collection owned by some of the team players.

Who doesn't know football player Lionel MessiHe is, without a doubt one of the best football players in history. Since 1956, the French news publication France Football has given the legend the Ballon d'Or, a yearly football award. It recognizes the male player who football journalists believe has performed the best over the previous year. The PSG star has won it seven times, compared to Cristiano Ronaldo's two. 


But just like the fellow football superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Luka Modric, Kylian Mbappe, etc., the captain is also a passionate watch collector.

Nicolas Otamendi wears Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A​​

Nicolas Otamendi is a part of the Argentina National Football Team and plays as a centre-back not only for his country, but also for Portuguese Primeira Liga Club Benfica. 


I could only find one picture where he wears a luxury watch. The picture above shows a stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus Selfwinding 5711/1A-010 with a blue dial on his wrist.


With the rounded octagonal shape of its bezel, the ingenious porthole construction of its case, and its horizontally embossed dial, the Nautilus has epitomized the elegant sports watch since 1976. Forty years later, it comprises a splendid collection of models for men and women. In steel, rose gold, white gold, or two-tone combinations, they accompany the most active lifestyles with incomparable class.


Btw, one of the Premier League Managers, Frank Lampard, also owns a similar piece, but his model is the reference 5711/1P in platinum, not in stainless steel.


Market price: ~$156,000.
