During the 2026 World Cup victory celebration at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid, Yamal paired a suit with a stunning Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26715OR. Crafted in 18-karat rose gold and featuring a Grande Tapisserie blue dial, it is priced at approximately €80,000 (US$91,000).
Powered by the robust automatic Caliber 2385 movement, it boasts a 40-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 50 m. The standout visual feature is its meticulously crafted bezel, which is adorned with 40 hand-set diamonds. This is one of the most sorted-out models of Audemars Piguet.
According to GQ, Yamal has worn this model to many pivotal milestones of his career. He wore it while celebrating the La Liga championship in May 2025, when signing his FC Barcelona contract extension, and while accepting his Young Athlete of the Year honor at the 2026 Laureus World Sports Awards.
Another highlight in his collection is the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon Baguette, currently valued at $400,000. This was exclusively gifted to the forward after he secured the Best Forward of the Year and the prestigious Maradona Award at the 2025 Globe Soccer Awards.

The watch is an exclusive collaboration of Jacob & Co. with supercar manufacturer Bugatti. Yamal’s model is incredibly rare, being one of only 18 units produced globally for the high-end Baguette Edition series, according to Augustman.
The upper part features three spheres visually representing the continuous flow of time. Below, the intricate design draws direct inspiration from Bugatti’s famous 8.3-liter V16 engine. The watch is forged from 18-karat white gold and encrusted with 328 diamonds, while 18 carefully placed rubies mimic the glowing taillights of a supercar.
According to BQ Watches, Yamal also owns a Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer”. This model blends Oystersteel stainless steel with Everose gold and features an eye-catching bezel. The classic timepiece retains the signature functions of the GMT-Master II line, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone.

In addition to the “Root Bear”, the world’s most valuable football player has a Rolex Datejust 41 Ref. 126300. This watch boasts a rare Azzurro Blue dial paired with white gold Roman numerals, a smooth bezel and a steel Oyster bracelet.
This model is highly favored for striking a balance between classic elegance and modern aesthetics. It utilizes the Calibre 3235 movement, offering a highly reliable 70-hour power reserve. Watch experts universally consider this a “lifetime watch,” given its versatility for both everyday wear and formal luxury events.
According to GQ, Yamal occasionally rocks his Patek Philippe Cubitus Ref. 7128/1R. He notably wore this with a Dolce&Gabbana tuxedo to the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris, where he successfully claimed his second consecutive Kopa Trophy and only finished after France’s Ousmane Dembele in the main category.
Introduced in late 2024, the Cubitus represents Patek Philippe’s first entirely new collection in roughly a quarter of a century. The specific version Yamal chose features a 18-karat rose gold case and bracelet, complementing a chocolate brown dial distinguished by a horizontal embossed pattern.

It operates on the automatic Caliber 26-330 SC movement, providing a power reserve of around 45 hours. GQ estimates its price at roughly $140,000, but the secondary market has seen these highly coveted models selling for $200,000 or more due to the high demand.
Yamal is the youngest player in history to win both the Euros and the World Cup. As a graduate of the famed La Masia academy, the forward is widely viewed as the heir to Lionel Messi’s legacy at Barcelona.
As of early June 2026, the CIES Football Observatory officially named Yamal as the most valuable player in world football, with an estimated transfer value currently standing at €358 million (US$408 million).
