Antonella Roccuzzo, wife of global football icon Lionel Messi, recently unexpectedly became the center of attention on social media after she was randomly asked: “What do you do for a living?” from a TikToker. But it wasn’t his fame that raised the question: it was his exquisite luxury watch.
The light-hearted “What do you do for a living?” The trend, popular on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, involves creators approaching strangers and asking about their work, typically based on fashion or high-end vehicles. In Antonella’s case, she wasn’t behind the wheel of a flashy car but was simply spending time with friends after a casual game of pickleball when she was approached.
The interviewer was none other than Ziv Tamir, a well-known content creator and watch enthusiast known online as “The Watch Guy,” who boasts over 600,000 followers on Instagram. What caught your attention? The sparkling Tiffany & Co. timepiece on Antonella’s wrist.
Tamir stopped her politely and asked if he could show his watch to his audience. Initially, Antonella seemed surprised, reportedly thinking he wanted to get on the pickleball court. However, the moment quickly turned into a viral exchange once viewers realized who he was.
In the comments section of the Instagram video, many Messi fans immediately recognized Antonella. Meanwhile, reactions on X (formerly Twitter) were mixed: some found the encounter amusing, while others thought she appeared slightly uncomfortable with the spontaneous interaction.
Antonella wasn’t wearing just any watch. He wore the Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Rope Watch, a high-end watch made of 18k yellow gold. The 27mm case features a twisted rope bezel adorned with 38 round-cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.52 carats. The dial is crafted from white mother-of-pearl, accented by gold-tone hands and paired with Tiffany’s signature blue alligator leather strap.
This luxury watch also runs on a solar-powered Swiss movement and offers water resistance up to 30 meters. A perfect fusion of fine jewelry and watchmaking craftsmanship, the Schlumberger Rope model was officially launched in September 2025.
While the question about her profession may have taken Antonella by surprise, the brief interaction showcased the understated yet undeniable elegance that keeps her in the spotlight even when she’s not alongside Messi.
