Introduction to Hakan Çalhanoglu
Hakan Çalhanoglu is a Turkish professional footballer who has built one of the most decorated careers in European club football over the past decade. Born in Mannheim in 1994, he developed through the youth academies of Karlsruher SC and Hamburger SV before making his mark at Bayer Leverkusen and then AC Milan, where he became a key creative force in Serie A. The move that defined this chapter of his career came in 2021 when he crossed the city divide to join Inter Milan, where he has since established himself as one of the best deep-lying playmakers in the division — a technician whose range of passing and set-piece delivery make him central to everything Simone Inzaghi's side builds. He has also been a consistent presence for the Turkish national team, captaining the side at major tournaments.
Off the pitch, the Hakan Çalhanoglu watch collection reflects the same eye for detail he applies to his game. He gravitates toward Rolex, and not the most obvious references in the catalogue. The clearest example is his documented sighting wearing the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 'Candy' in 18k white gold, reference 126679SABR — a piece from Rolex's high jewellery tier that features a bezel set with sapphires and sits on a platinum-lined 18k white gold case. It is the kind of reference that rarely surfaces in public, and seeing it on a footballer's wrist during a casual appearance says something deliberate about his approach to collecting.
Across the four watches currently logged in our database, a pattern emerges: Çalhanoglu is not simply reaching for recognisable sports references. He appears drawn to the upper end of what Rolex produces — pieces where the watchmaking and the materials do the work without any need for obvious branding. For a player who tends to let his football speak rather than court attention, the collection feels consistent with the person.

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 'Candy' 126679SABR features a bezel set with exactly 40 baguette-cut gemstones arranged in a repeating five-hue sequence — pink sapphire, light-blue sapphire, diamond, purple sapphire, and dark-blue sapphire — making it one of the most technically demanding and visually distinctive gem-set references in the entire Rolex catalogue. Inter Milan and Turkish national team midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu was recently spotted wearing this ultra-rare 18k white gold piece, retail-priced at $92,500 and trading hands at well over double that on the secondary market.

Inserted 28/04/2023
The Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126755SARU is among the most extravagant executions of an otherwise tool-watch lineage — its bezel set with alternating sapphires and rubies, its lugs paved with diamonds, and its case crafted entirely in 18k Everose gold. Retailing well north of $150,000, it occupies the extreme luxury end of a collection built on aviation utility. Inter Milan midfielder and Turkey national team captain Hakan Çalhanoglu was spotted wearing this rare piece, a choice that underscores the footballer's taste for unapologetically bold horology.

The Rolex Sky-Dweller Ref. 326935 in Everose gold with a chocolate dial and Arabic numeral hour markers is no longer in production, making it a quietly sought-after piece on the secondary market. Introduced as part of Rolex's most technically complex non-professional line, the Sky-Dweller houses the brand's proprietary annual calendar and dual time zone Ring Command system. Inter Milan and Turkish national team midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu was spotted wearing this warm-toned, discontinued reference — a choice that reflects both taste and collector awareness.
Hakan Çalhanoglu Spotted Wearing Rolex Submariner Date Two-Tone Ref. 116613LB
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Submariner 116613LB is one of the most recognizable two-tone dive watches ever made, pairing 904L stainless steel with 18k yellow gold on both the case and Oyster bracelet — a combination Rolex collectors call 'Rolesor.' Powered by the in-house Calibre 3135 with 48-hour power reserve, it carries a blue ceramic bezel and matching blue dial with gold hour markers. Inter Milan and Turkish national team midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu was spotted on the wrist with this classic, a fitting choice for a player whose wrist game matches his technical precision on the pitch.
