The nearly 100,000 euro jewels Lamine Yamal wore to celebrate La Liga: from a luxury watch to lucky bracelets
Lamine Yamal has become the new "it" boy. Loved and hated by fans and detractors on the pitch, the 17-year-old is a style icon for many kids of his generation, who emulate every detail, accessory, and item of clothing the footballer wears. During the celebration of FC Barcelona 's LaLiga title, the young striker wore a watch that certainly didn't go unnoticed, not only for its aesthetics but also for how ostentatious a model of this type is.
This is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 26715OR , a fine watchmaking piece made of gold and whose current selling price is 81,000 euros.
The Royal Oak Chronograph 26715OR in 18-karat rose gold is a take on the classic Royal Oak, one of the most desirable watches of recent times, one that only a few fortunate few have access to due to the luxury brand's strict sales regulations. It features a 38 mm case, a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal , and a screw-down crown. The dial features the iconic "Grande Tapisserie" motif in a chocolate brown hue, with perfectly balanced subdials and gold accents, a touch that gives it a sporty feel. The 26715OR combines the power of the automatic caliber 2385 with a 40-hour power reserve.
The watch wasn't the only piece of jewelry Lamine wore to celebrate the victory. A diamond necklace and several bracelets on her right hand also stood out in her look. Among them, the so-called "lucky bracelets" from the luxury jewelry brand Van Cleef & Arpels stand out, which she has worn on other occasions, such as during the Spanish national team's victory last summer.
On this occasion, the striker is wearing one of the bracelets from the Alhambra collection, "a symbol of luck, embodying a positive outlook on life. Since its creation in 1968 , this collection has continually evolved, adding material combinations, diverse functionalities, and adaptations to the sizes of the motifs," as explained by the brand. In this case, Yamal is wearing a white gold model with five clovers, retailing for €7,600.
The footballer's other jewelry, although not yet associated with any well-known brand, could also be high-end pieces, as pearls and diamonds are not lacking in the combination. A collection that likely exceeds €100,000.
