About Maghnes Akliouche’s watch collection
Maghnes Akliouche is an attacking midfielder who represents the French national football team and plays for Paris Saint-Germain following his high-profile transfer in 2023. The French footballer has established himself as a dynamic presence in midfield, earning recognition at both club and international level during a formative period in his career.
The Maghnes Akliouche watch collection centres on the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, a chronograph with deep motorsport heritage and a 60-year production history. Akliouche was photographed wearing the ref. 126500LN-0001 during his PSG transfer proceedings in 2023, selecting the stainless steel version with the distinctive 'panda' dial—white face with black subdials. This model represents a significant redesign in Daytona evolution, introduced to mark the model's 60th anniversary.
The ref. 126500LN-0001 houses the calibre 4130 movement, a manual-wind chronograph mechanism developed entirely in-house by Rolex. The choice reflects the Daytona's status among professional athletes and its position as one of the most sought-after modern sports watches in circulation. For Akliouche, the selection aligns with the footballer's profile during a critical career transition, pairing technical precision with the watch's recognisable design among collectors and enthusiasts.
