Lionel Messi, a French player for Paris Saint-Germain FC, is a living legend who fascinates soccer fans around the world.

This is a limited series, with three models available: a stainless steel case with a tantalum bezel, limited to 500 pieces, a pink gold case, limited to 400 pieces, and a platinum case, limited to 100 pieces. Among them, the platinum case model engraved with "10/100" - Messi's jersey number "10" - was auctioned at Sotheby's in Geneva, Switzerland, and all the proceeds were donated to the Leo Messi Foundation, which supports children to make their dreams come true.
With a deep blue dial that stands out against the 41mm case and elegant 18KWG (white gold) hands, this watch is truly a model worthy of a superstar in the world of soccer.
