Hasan Salihamidžić — watch collection

About Hasan Salihamidžić’s watch collection

Hasan Salihamidžić is one of the most recognizable figures in European football, having built a career that spans both the pitch and the boardroom. Born in Jablanica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, he came to prominence as a technically gifted central midfielder, spending the most significant chapter of his playing career at Bayern Munich, where he won multiple Bundesliga titles and a UEFA Champions League. He also represented Bosnia and Herzegovina internationally before transitioning into football management, eventually serving as Sporting Director at Bayern Munich from 2017 to 2023 — a role in which he oversaw transfers and squad strategy at one of the world's most scrutinized clubs.

The Hasan Salihamidžić watch collection reflects the tastes of someone who has spent decades operating at the top level of professional football and club administration. He has been photographed wearing two of the most sought-after references in the luxury sports watch segment, both firmly within the Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet camps. Among his confirmed sightings, Salihamidžić has been spotted with the Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 5711/1A-010 — the stainless steel model with the blue horizontal-striped dial that became the most discussed sports watch of its generation before being discontinued in 2021. Designed by Gérald Genta and first introduced in 1976, the Nautilus 5711 represents the kind of understated credibility that appeals to collectors who know the reference points well.

His interest in Audemars Piguet rounds out a collection that leans toward integrated-bracelet sports watches with serious horological credentials — a profile common among footballers of his era who developed genuine collecting instincts rather than simply following trends. With two watches currently logged in our database, his collection is modest in breadth but deliberate in its choices, favoring references that hold their relevance beyond any single season.
