With some of the most eyewatering pay checks around, it’s no wonder that footballers are well know for their impressive Swiss Rolex replica watches collections – and the last week or so has certainly seen some heavy hitters. The highlights? Messi was spotted cheering on Inter Milan in a super-rare ‘Barbie’ Rolex.
Lionel Messi
While cheering on Inter Miami against FC Cincinnati, Lionel Messi was seen wearing a rare, off-catalogue perfect Rolex Daytona fake watches that matches his team’s pink kit. Nicknamed ‘The Barbie’, the watch features an 18K yellow gold case with a pink sapphire-set bezel and is valued at around £700,000. Previously spotted on Mark Wahlberg, this ultra-limited edition is believed to be one of fewer than ten produced, exclusively offered to Rolex’s most elite collectors.
Mark Wahlberg
Talking of Marky Mark, the actor’s Instagram has become well known as prime horological viewing, and this week we caught a glimpse of the best copy Rolex Land-Dweller 40 watches in Oystersteel and white gold. Released at Watches and Wonders 2025, the model has become one of the most lauded timepieces of the year.
Drake
While on his European tour, rapper Drake added ultra-rare 1:1 replica Rolex Daytona watches UK to his repertoire. Crafted in 18K Everose gold, this off-catalogue ‘Giraffe’ edition (Ref. 126555TBR) features 36 baguette-cut diamonds set around the bezel and hour markers, with additional diamonds on the lugs and crown guards. It’s paired with a sleek Oysterflex bracelet, making it one of the wildest (get it?) Daytona configurations ever seen.
Marcus Rashford
During pre-season in South Korea, Barcelona footballer Marcus Rashford was seen sporting high quality super clone Rolex Day-Date watches in 18K white gold (ref. 228239). The factory-set timepiece features a unique meteorite dial and 10 baguette-cut diamond hour markers, blending elegance with rarity for quite the snip at the modest price of around £48,350 ($56,800).
David Beckham
Celebrating the birthday of his daughter Harper 7, David Beckham was captured by wife Victoria wearing AAA fake Rolex Day-Date 36 ‘Puzzle’ watches. Spotlighting champlevé enamelling in playful bright hues, the arc-shaped aperture at 12 o’clock displays the inspirational words, ‘Happy’, ‘Eternity’, ‘Gratitude’, ‘Peace’, ‘Faith’, ‘Love’, ‘Hope’ and ‘Happy’ – the latter of which would be an apt description of how we’d feel if we could afford it (originally retailing at $61,500, it now has a market value of around $267,000).
