The newspaper Marca we learn in its Wednesday edition that there is an improbable connection between two sacred figures of Spanish sport, Rafael Nadal and Pep Guardiola. During the dream Champions League match on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu, between Real Madrid and Manchester City (3-3), the Mancunian coach wore a watch on his wrist made to pay homage to the famous tennis player… who is a Merengue supporter.
This is the 27-01 model from the prestigious watchmaker Richard Mille, which has the particularity of being considered the lightest mechanical watch in the world, with its 18.83 grams, bracelet included. Grade five titanium, aluminum and lithium make up this luxury object, produced in only 50 examples.
The item has fetched 500,000 euros since it was put on sale
But even more than its lightness, its composition or its sophisticated design, you see us coming, it is its value which is extraordinary. Hang on, this watch that Nadal and Guardiola own is estimated… at 1.3 million euros!
Knowing that it “only” cost 800,000 euros when it was put up for sale, before seeing its value explode in recent months, we understand that Pep Guardiola is as inspired in his investments as in his tactical plans.
