Introduction to Chris Smalling
Chris Smalling is an English professional footballer who built his reputation as one of the Premier League era's most reliable central defenders. Born in Greenwich in 1989, Smalling came through the Maidstone United and Fulham academies before Manchester United signed him in 2010. He went on to make over 300 appearances for United, earning a consistent place in the England national team setup along the way. A move to AS Roma in 2019 — initially on loan, then made permanent — gave his career a second wind, with Smalling widely regarded as one of Serie A's better defenders during his time in the Italian capital before joining AS Roma's city rivals in later years.
The Chris Smalling watch collection, as far as sightings go, points to a clear preference for substantial, technically serious timepieces rather than dressy or understated options. He has been photographed wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in 18-carat rose gold, reference 25940OK — a 44mm pink gold case on a matching rose gold bracelet that sets it apart from the far more prevalent steel and two-tone Offshore examples that circulate among footballers and collectors alike. The monochromatic rose gold configuration gives the watch a warmer, more considered feel than the standard steel configuration, while still carrying the Offshore's characteristic bulk and presence. Powering the 25940OK is the AP Calibre 312, a self-winding movement that brings genuine mechanical credibility to a watch that could otherwise be dismissed purely for its visual impact.
Choosing the rose gold Offshore over its more ubiquitous steel counterpart suggests Smalling has thought carefully about what he wears rather than defaulting to the most visible option. The 25940OK is a relatively rare configuration, and wearing it in rose gold on bracelet rather than rubber strap is a detail-oriented choice — the kind that separates a deliberate collector from someone simply buying a recognisable name.

Inserted 30/11/2022
The Royal Oak Offshore 25940OK is one of the most recognisable rose gold chronograph configurations AP ever produced — a 44mm statement piece housing the in-house calibre 3126/3840 with 50 hours of power reserve. Manchester United centre-back Chris Smalling, never shy about his taste for serious horology, was spotted wearing this warm-toned Offshore, a choice that speaks to a collector sensibility that goes beyond the obvious sports-watch entry points. At a UK RRP of £25,000, it sits firmly in considered luxury territory.
