Arsenal’s star midfielder Mezut Ozil made another memorable assist at the club’s charity foundation Night to Inspire fundraising dinner.
The watch was a personalised Rolex designed by former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry in partnership with Titan Black, a London-based customiser.
The watch donated by Mr Henry, which is known as the Invincible Edition, is being produced by Titan Black in a limited run of 49 pieces.
Rolex does not officially sanction or work with any customisation businesses.
“Our donation of the number 14 watch raised £30k @AFC_Foundation foundation #NightToInspire. Many thanks @MesutOzil1088, immense generosity. Extremely worthy cause, I feel very proud that the money will help so many underprivileged and disadvantaged individuals,” Mr Henri said on Twitter after the watch was bought by Mr Ozil.
“Proud to assist the @AFC_Foundation by donating £30k to help more children around the world.” Mr Ozil added on his own Twitter feed.
