Virgil van Dijk — watch collection

About Virgil van Dijk’s watch collection

Virgil van Dijk is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liverpool FC and the Dutch national team. Since joining Liverpool in 2018, he has established himself as one of the Premier League's most consistent defenders and was instrumental in the club's 2019-20 title win. Known for his commanding presence both on and off the pitch, van Dijk represents a new generation of athletes who prioritise understated luxury over flashy endorsements.

The Virgil van Dijk watch collection demonstrates a clear preference for haute horlogerie, with Audemars Piguet dominating his wrist rotation. He has been spotted wearing multiple references from the Royal Oak line, including the 50th Anniversary Jumbo in platinum (Ref. 16202PT), the Extra-Thin in stainless steel (Ref. 15202ST), and the rose gold Extra-Thin (Ref. 16202OR). Beyond the Royal Oak, van Dijk owns several complex Audemars Piguet pieces including the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in ceramic and the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked models. He also favours the vintage Bamboo reference (Ref. 5300BA) in yellow gold.

Complementing his Audemars Piguet holdings, van Dijk has been sighted wearing Patek Philippe sports watches including the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph (Ref. 5990/1A-001) and multiple Aquanaut variants (Refs. 5167A, 5164A, and 5168G). His collection also includes Rolex sport models—specifically the GMT-Master II in both 'Batman' (Ref. 126710BLNR) and 'Pepsi' (Ref. 126710BLRO) configurations. Notable additions include Richard Mille pieces: the RM 17-01 tourbillon and the RM11 chronograph. The presence of an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Liverpool FC Special Edition reflects his connection to his club.
