Karim Benzema, 34, is a rising star in the world of football and is regarded as one of the best forwards of his generation. He was born in Lyon to Algerian parents. He competes as a striker for the France national team and Real Madrid of La Liga. His objectives are widely discussed. He has already scored 37 goals in the 2021–2022 season.
It’s understandable why Benzema was named the Best Men’s Player in the World at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris on October 17, 2022.
When Karim “The Dream” isn’t busy winning games for his teammates, what pursuits keep him occupied off the green pitch? The ʙᴏᴍʙᴇʀ of Franco-Algerian descent enjoys collecting supercars and designer watches in his spare time, just like other football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, as the feed of his Instagram profile also attests.
He has a number of rose-gold timepieces, and IFL Watches’ Rose Gold G-Shock CasiOak is one of them. Look it up!
I’ve selected a few of his expensive timepieces for this blog post. Have an excellent read!
Karim Benzema Watch Collection – Rolex Root Beer
The watch you see on Benzema’s wrist is one of my favorite watches ever, so when I made the decision to write about his watch collection, I told myself to start with this image. It appears so beautiful. Presenting the 18k rose gold Rolex GMT Master II Root Beer, reference 126715CHNR. In contrast to the two-tone, I prefer this version. Naturally, Benzema and I have similar tastes.
At the time of writing (July 2022): $55,000.
Karim Benzema Watch Collection – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar
The 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, an 18k rose gold member of the “Royal Oak” family, was seen on the French football player. It has a perpetual calendar, moon phase indicators, and a “Grande Tapisserie” pattern on its silver-toned dial. The day, date, month, and leap year are all visible on watches with perpetual calendars. In other words, a perpetual calendar maintains date and year cycle accuracy for all time, as well as day, month, and moonphase.
If the query, “What is a leap year?” is posed, then the answer is: A leap year is a regular calendar year that has an extra day added to it to align it with the astronomical year. February, the shortest month, ends with the addition of this day (now you know why February has 29 days once every four years). According to science, it takes the Earth about 365.25 days to orbit the sun. It must therefore orbit every four years in 366 days.
We therefore add one day to our calendar roughly every four years to make up for the lost day. A leap year is any year that is evenly divisible by 4, such as 2000, 2004, 2008, etc.
Price at retail: $95,700
Price as of July 2022: around $200,000.

Karim Benzema Watch – Richard Mille 055 Bubba Watson
This white ceramic RM-055 Bubba Watson watch is another Richard Mille timepiece made by Benzema that I want to mention. One of my favorite Richard Mille timepieces is this one. This watch definitely has a unique quality. Bubba Watson, a well-known golfer, was the original buyer of this watch. This stunning timepiece was influenced by the 2011-debuted RM 038 Bubba Watson tourbillon watch.
Due to the titanium case, it has an extreme skeleton movement and an ATZ ceramic front bezel. Extreme skeletonization can be seen in the mechanical movement, which is made of grade 5 titanium. Innovative, sporty, and hand-finished in the finest watchmaking tradition, the RM 055 is a highly technical creation.
