Over the past few weeks, the football world has been rocked by the dazzling performances of Vinicius Junior, the young prodigy of Real Madrid. His magic on the pitch has drawn crowds, and while debates have been raging about which day is the best in the world, something else has emerged among watchmaking fans, Vinicius’ style has not gone unnoticed. In particular, the watch he wears on his wrist has sparked discussions. So what is this watch worn by the football star?

Vinicius and his passion for watches

Like many famous football players, Vinicius Junior is passionate about watches. Her wrist is often adorned with striking designs that reflect her taste for luxury and sophistication. Ahead of the crucial Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich on May 8, the young Brazilian made a particularly exquisite choice: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 ST.

This iconic timepiece, launched by Audemars Piguet in 1972, represents watchmaking excellence and timeless style. Designed by the talented Swiss watchmaker Gérald Genta, it quickly became one of the most iconic pieces in the watch industry, alongside legends such as the Nautilus by Patek Philippe, the Tank by Cartier or the Daytona by Rolex.
