Koke — watch collection

About Koke’s watch collection

Koke — born Jorge Resurrección Merodio in Madrid in 1992 — is one of Spanish football's most decorated and loyal servants. A central midfielder of considerable technical quality, he came through the Atlético Madrid academy and has spent his entire senior career at the club, captaining the side through La Liga title wins, Copa del Rey glory, and multiple UEFA Champions League finals. He has also been a regular fixture for the Spanish national team, earning well over 50 caps and representing Spain at major tournaments including the World Cup and European Championship. In an era when top players routinely move between clubs for the largest possible contracts, Koke's one-club career has made him something of a rarity in modern football.

Off the pitch, the Koke watch collection, as spotted so far, points toward a player with straightforward, considered taste rather than a desire to chase novelty. The one piece we have on record is a Rolex Submariner Date in Yellow Rolesor, reference 116613LB — a two-tone steel and 18ct yellow gold model with a blue ceramic bezel and matching blue dial. Introduced in 2010 as part of Rolex's overhaul of the Submariner family, the 116613LB sits at the more accessible end of the Rolex precious-metal range while still carrying genuine presence on the wrist. It is a watch that many serious collectors own alongside rarer references, and it suits a player who brings substance over spectacle to his game.

The choice of a two-tone Submariner feels consistent with Koke's broader profile: recognisable and well-regarded without being ostentatious. Whether the collection extends further into Rolex's catalogue — sports models, dress watches, or otherwise — remains to be documented. Watch Paparazzi will update this page as new sightings come in.
