Back in April 2016, Jamie Vardy invited his Leicester City teammates over to watch Chelsea vs Tottenham – a match whose result secured his team the most unexpected Premier League title of all time. (We’re talking 5000-1 odds at the start of the season.) It gave way to the “Jamie Vardy is having a party” chant that’s become the unofficial soundtrack to a fairytale year for the club. But as of yesterday, his parties on the pitch – at least for Leicester City – are numbered following the announcement that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
Fortunately, there’s still some partying going on somewhere – on his wrist. In a video released with the news, club captain Vardy can be seen wearing US perfect replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time ref 5164G watches. It’s got a white gold case and numerals, and a tasty opaline dial and matching rubber strap (it also matches pretty nicely with his rather full trophy haul which features in the video).
The best fake Patek Philippe ref 5164G watches pack in two timezone functions, which might come in handy if the rumours of a move to the US are true. It’s the sportiest ticker in Patek’s line-up and the first to come on a rubber strap, which allowed the watchmaker to go a little crazier when it came to colours. And if you’re partial to a party when you win the league, it’s pretty resilient to champagne sprays, too.
Many consider it to be the younger, athletic sibling of the Nautilus, but we see it more as a close cousin. Unlike the Nautlius, which was cooked up by legendary designer Gérald Genta, the Aquanaut came from the brand itself (although the porthole-inspired shape is still there), and first released in 1997, with the travel time 1:1 wholesale replica watches debuting in 2011. It retails for more than £50k, but given this watch falls into the bonkers world of Patek Philippe, it’s rare that you’ll actually pay that much. Patek produces its US high quality copy watches in much smaller quantities than its competitors and there’s an insane demand. This means you’re much more likely to get one if you shell out £80-100k on the secondary market.
Vardy isn’t a one trick pony, never has been. And the same applies with his watch collection. He’s been spotted wearing a few crazy tourbillons from Richard Mille. These cheap super clone watches are best reserved for celebratory wrist checks, like when Mo Salah resigned for Liverpool. For more sombre moments, like Vardy’s departure, the Aquanaut seems far more fitting. It still says ‘I’m the business,’ but doesn’t shout quite so much.
Jamie Vardy and Leicester have been through it all together, but if the past is anything to go by, there could be one hell of a send-off come the end of the season – perhaps that’s when we’ll see one of this Richard Milles come out to party.
