About Youssef El Arabi’s watch collection
Youssef El Arabi is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a striker. He gained significant attention in 2021 when he completed a record-breaking transfer to Greek Super League club Panathinaikos, becoming the most expensive signing in the club's history. The move marked a major milestone in his career and brought considerable media scrutiny to his profile both on and off the pitch.
El Arabi's taste in watches reflects the refined preferences of elite athletes with substantial financial resources. The Youssef El Arabi watch collection centers on Audemars Piguet, the Swiss luxury manufacturer known for technical innovation and integrated bracelet designs. He was spotted wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton in stainless steel (Reference 15305ST) during his arrival at Athens International Airport for his Panathinaikos signing, drawing attention to the skeletonised dial and integrated bracelet of the piece.
The 15305ST Royal Oak Skeleton remains the focal point of documented sightings in the Youssef El Arabi watch collection. This reference exemplifies Audemars Piguet's approach to sports-luxury watchmaking, combining the brand's signature octagonal case design with transparent dial construction that reveals the mechanical movement beneath. The choice aligns with El Arabi's status as a high-profile athlete navigating both elite sports circles and international business dealings.
