About Anthony Gordon’s watch collection
Anthony Gordon is an English professional footballer who has established himself as one of the most dynamic wide forwards in the Premier League. Born in Liverpool in 2001, Gordon came through the academy at Everton before making a high-profile move to Newcastle United, where he has become a key figure under Eddie Howe. His performances for the Magpies earned him senior England recognition, and his recent signing with Barcelona has marked a significant new chapter in a career that continues to accelerate at pace.
Off the pitch, the Anthony Gordon watch collection points firmly toward the upper end of haute horlogerie. Gordon has been spotted wearing a Patek Philippe Grand Complication Chronograph Perpetual Calendar, reference 5271/11P-001 — a platinum-cased piece with a blue lacquered dial and a bezel set with 80 baguette-cut blue sapphires. He was seen wearing the watch on arrival in New Jersey ahead of an England international fixture, which is a notable setting for a reference that sits at the very top of Patek Philippe's integrated chronograph range. The 5271/11P-001 combines a perpetual calendar with a column-wheel chronograph movement in a 42.8mm case, and the factory-gem-set configuration makes it a custom-order piece rather than a standard catalogue entry.
For a footballer still in his early twenties, the choice of a Patek Philippe grand complication in platinum reflects an unusually serious engagement with watchmaking at the highest level. Factory-customised references like the 5271/11P-001 are not simply purchased off a shelf — they require a relationship with the manufacture and often a waiting period. It signals that Gordon, or those advising him, understands the distinction between a luxury watch and a technically significant one.
