Sebastiano Rossi, the legendary goalkeeper of A.C. Milan, is one of the most celebrated figures in Italian football. His tenure at Milan (1990–2002) was marked by numerous domestic and international victories, including five Serie A titles, a UEFA Champions League triumph, and multiple Italian Super Cups. Most notably, he held the record for the longest unbeaten streak in Serie A history, going 929 minutes without conceding a goal—a record that stood for over two decades.

A Legendary Watch with a Legendary Provenance

This Patek Philippe 5035R-001 is already an exceptional timepiece, commemorating A.C. Milan’s 100th anniversary in 1998. The entire collection was reserved for club members only, and was not available to the general public. However, the fact that it was owned by Sebastiano Rossi elevates its historical and collectible significance. As a key figure in Milan’s golden era, Rossi’s connection to this watch ties it to one of football’s most dominant teams.

The Annual Calendar complication, first introduced in 1996, was a groundbreaking innovation for Patek Philippe, and this limited edition Milan A.C. tribute model is further enhanced by its Italian-language calendar indicators—a perfect homage to both the club and its celebrated goalkeeper.

With its 18K rose gold case, silvered sunburst dial, and tritium-filled rose gold hour markers, this timepiece is a stunning blend of elegance and mechanical ingenuity. Accompanied by original Patek Philippe paperwork, this watch is more than just a collectible—it is a piece of football and horological history.

Owning this watch is like owning a physical artifact from A.C. Milan’s golden era, directly linked to one of the greatest goalkeepers in Serie A history. Whether for a watch collector, a football enthusiast, or both, this is a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
