Handsome, sexy and sultry, Leo Messi of Argentina also happens to be the world's best footballer for the last 4 years with 91 goals in 69 matches. Too bad the buyer will not get a night to have sex with him or else the world's richest women (and a few men) will bid millions!
This is the No 10 watch coveted by Leo Messi's fans
You also get an autographed T-shirt and original sketch signed by Leo Messi and designer of watch plus tickets for a match and to shake hands with the world's greatest footballer the way Kee Hua Chee is the world's greatest writer.
Audemars Piguet offers philanthropist collectors and dedicated football fans a chance to bid for
the platinum Royal Oak Chronograph Leo Messi bearing number 10. In Sotheby’s upcoming
spring sale to be held on May 11th 2013 in Geneva, this exceptional model will be put up for
auction on behalf of the Leo Messi foundation.
This is the piece collectors have been eagerly awaiting since the launch of the Royal Oak Leo
Messi limited series with its tantalum bezel and steel, pink gold or platinum case. Its 41 mm
diameter gives it a generous and modern appearance without any trace of ostentation. Its pure
and elegant dial does not bear the Royal Oak collection’s characteristic “tapisserie” motif,
instead featuring a deep blue shade graced with white gold hour-markers for the 100-piece
platinum limited edition.
An Audemars Piguet ambassador since 2010, Leo Messi proudly bears the number 10 on his
jersey both in the Argentinean national team and in his adoptive club where he has been playing
since the age of 13. Acknowledged as the world’s best football player for the past four years
and the holder of several records, in 2012 Leo Messi notably achieved the remarkable
performance of scoring 91 goals in 69 matches.
Admirers of the soccer legend of our time will be able to bid on lot no. 110 in the auction. The
funds thus raised will be entirely donated to the Leo Messi Foundation that strives to help
underprivileged children and offer them a chance to fulfil their dreams.
For him, “any initiative that supports the projects developed by the Foundation has my full
backing and my sincere gratitude, because thanks to the donations that are raised, we daily
seek to restore hope and a reason to smile to children battling adversity. The funds raised
during this charity auction will allow us to rehabilitate the Children Public Hospital in my home
city of Rosario”.
On show in Hong Kong (from April 3rd to 8th) and in London (from April 12th to 15th), and then in
Sotheby’s Zurich (from May 2nd to 3rd) and Geneva (from May 9th to 10th) offices, the Royal Oak
Leo Messi number 10 in platinum will be presented for the first time on a rubber strap. It will be
accompanied by an autographed T-shirt as well as the original sketch of the watch signed by
the player and by Audemars Piguet’s Chief Artistic Officer, Octavio Garcia. Moreover, the
fortunate top bidder for this lot will enjoy the exceptional opportunity to watch a football match
of Barcelona as well as to meet the legendary footballer in person.

Leo Messi Foundation
The Leo Messi Foundation stems from an initiative launched by Leo Messi with the support of his family and striving to ensure that children around the world enjoy equal opportunities to make their dreams come true. Since 2007, it has been working tirelessly to accomplish its mission on behalf of children and adolescents whose health is at risk.
Whether on a national or international level, the projects conducted by the Foundation all focus on education and health, particularly the battle against childhood cancer and Chagas disease.
“I reached my dream of becoming a footballer and I want you to know that I fought hard to get here and that I have to fight even harder to keep it up. Today, I want to use my own efforts and my own success to help the most needy children, because it daily moves me to see a child smile, when he thinks there is hope or when I see that he feels happy. That is why we decided to create the Leo Messi Foundation and I will keep fighting to make children happy with the same enthusiasm and dedication that drive me in pursuing my football career.”

yeah,you are right,I also like Messi,he is superstar.
ReplyDeleteL’Inter avait été définitivement le deuxième meilleur en première période après le carton rouge de Matias Vecino à la 18e minute. Il est retombé dans un 4-4-1, avec Icardi isolé au sommet. La pression de la Juve a empêché les hôtes de soutenir l’attaquant argentin et les a laissés coincés dans leur propre moitié.
ReplyDeleteIncroyablement, la marée du jeu a tourné après la mi-temps. Rafinha et Marcelo Brozovic étaient immenses au milieu du terrain. maillot de foot pas cher Les objectifs étaient peut-être un peu flou; le redressement, compte tenu des circonstances, ne l’était pas. A dix minutes de la fin, c’était la Juventus, malgré son avantage en hommes, qui ne semblait pas capable de marquer un but, encore moins deux.
Cuadrado rattrapant l'Inter à l'autre bout du fil. Sa croix dévié par Samir Handanovic d'un angle serré.
Sur la gauche, Calhanoglu et Bonaventura se sont débrouillés dans la moyenne ces derniers temps, mais nous ne pouvons pas nous empêcher de penser que la contribution défensive de la Turquie internationale permet à Theo d'aller de l'avant et de créer des situations de surcharge qui lui permettent de faire ce qu'il fait le mieux.
ReplyDeleteAvec une seule défaite lors des huit derniers matchs et cinq blanchissages, la défense de Milan semble solide lorsqu'elle est allumée - Atalanta à part bien sûr. Ce sont des signes prometteurs, mais qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour Lucas Paqueta?
Tous les yeux étaient fixés sur Krzysztof Piatek alors que l'AC Milan accueillait SPAL à San Siro pour un affrontement en Coppa Italia - et pas seulement parce que l'international polonais gardait Zlatan Ibrahimovic hors du XI de départ.
Six jours après que The Sun a annoncé que Tottenham Hotspur avait conclu un accord de 28 millions de livres sterling pour amener le numéro neuf de Milan au nord de Londres, maillot foot pas cher il semble que les négociations se soient quelque peu arrêtées. Le fait que Piatek ait été choisi pour commencer mercredi soir ne signifie certainement pas qu'un départ est imminent.
Mais si les Spurs nous regardaient, et vous pouvez le garantir, les géants de la Premier League auraient certainement été impressionnés par la performance d'un braconnier d'origine qui a sans doute produit son meilleur affichage de la saison.
