Swedish professional football player who plays as a striker for AC Milan and Sweden's national team, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is regarded as one of the best players in the world, just like his fellow Nordic player, the Norwegian Erling Haaland. He is renowned for his acrobatic strikes and volleys, powerful long-range shots and excellent technique and ball control.

The watch community also recognizes Zlatan as an amid watch collector. He has been spotted very often wearing luxury watches on his wrist on several occasions. His collection ranges from Rolex, and Patek Philippe to MoonSwatch.

Sounds interesting, isn't it? Keep reading the blog post to find out some of his watches. 

When AC Milan celebrated their 19th championship with a victory parade of the “Scudetto” Championship in an open-top bus through the streets of Milan on 23 May 2022,  Zlatan joined his team for the celebration and was spotted wearing the lefty Rolex 'Sprite.'  

The fun parade started at 6 pm where the team greeted their fans at the Casa Milan headquarters, then left with a bus through the city of Milan until Piazza Duomo. 

Rolex Sprite 126720VTNR was released during the 2022 Watches and Wonders in Geneva. Featuring a cerachrom bezel insert that combines green and black, which was never done before, the new Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126720VTNR is officially the first left-handed Rolex ever made with a crown position at 9 instead of 3 o’clock.

Dress up nicely in suit, Zlatan was seen wearing one of my favorite watches: The Rolex Daytona with a green dial or 'John Mayer Dial' according to the watch community.

Market price (Dec 2022): ~$75,000.

The Swedish professional footballer owns several Daytona, for instance, the 40 mmwhite gold Rolex Daytona 'Meteorite Dial' 116519LN with a black cerachrom bezel with the tachymetric scale.

Market price: ~$170,000.

Like another Nordic footballer, Erling Haaland, Swedish football player also the most sought-after Rolex Daytona 'Eye of the Tiger' 116588TBR.

The 40mm watch has a diamond-laced tiger-print dial, a gem-set yellow-gold bezel with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds, and diamond hour markers (outside of the 15, 30, 45, and 60-minute indicators). 

Market price: ~$250,000.

The second Daytona is the solid platinum Rolex Daytona 116576TBR, one of the rare few that left the Rolex factory set with 36 brilliant baguette diamonds and a beautiful full pave diamond dial (Rolex are famous for their impeccable gem quality and settings).

Last know market price: ~$450,000.

His last Rolex watch that I want to show in this blog post is the fun, playful, and colorful Rolex Daytona 'Rainbow' 116595 in rose gold. 

The watch is set with 47 sapphires: 36 baguette-cut decorate the bezel in Rainbow colors, and 11 additional sapphires serve as the hour markers. The fun doesn't stop here because there are still 56 brilliant-cut diamonds sitting on the lugs and crown guards.

Many people might think that this watch was childish, but in fact, many celebrities and athletes own this timepiece

Zlatan has several Patek Philippe watches. Let's start with the timepiece that is also owned by Karim Benzema and Luka Modric.

I'm talking about the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph 5968A in stainless steel. It features the classic Aquanaut's square pattern in dark grey with orange on both the second hand and the sub-counter. The watch is matched with an orange strap.

Market price: ~$155,000.

A couple of days after he won his 12th "Guldbollen," the award for the best Swedish male player of the year, he appeared on a TV Show wearing a nice timepiece on his wrist.

You can see a 40.5mm rose gold Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1R with a date display at 3 o'clock that offers incomparable class and technical precision for an active lifestyle.  

Other celebrities and athletes who have this watch are Conor McGregor, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Lewandowski, etc.

Watching a match between AC Milan and Juventus in Milan, Italy, in October 2022,  AC Milan footballer was seen wearing the very rare platinum Patek Philippe reference 5711/111P-001, limited only to 10 pieces worldwide.

It features 32 baguette blue sapphires on the bezel and 12 more sapphires on the hour markers. Further down, into the side of the bezel, you can find a small diamond, which is a discreet sign to mark that the brand's watches are made in the noblest of metal.

I remember the day when I open my Instagram and pictures of Zlatan wearing the MoonSwatch 'Mission to Mars' were all over my feed. I didn't really expect this watch to be on his wrist. 

Well, it happened!

Zlatan was spotted wearing the MoonSwatch 'Mission to Mars' while attending the Serie A match between AC Milan and AC Monza at Stadion Giuseppe Meazza in Milan.

The watch pays tribute to Mars by showcasing bright red tones contrasted with a white velcro strap. Both subdials are shaped like a rocket shape, perhaps in reference to humanity's curiosity and long-time goal of reaching Mars.

Retail price: $270.
