Antonella Roccuzzo, the wife of global football icon Lionel Messi, recently became the unexpected center of attention on social media after being randomly asked, “What do you do for a living?” by a TikToker. But it wasn’t her fame that drew the question it was her exquisite luxury watch.
The light-hearted “What do you do for a living?” trend, popular across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, involves creators approaching strangers and asking about their jobs, typically based on their high-end fashion or 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,” boasting over 600,000 Instagram followers. What caught his eye? The dazzling Tiffany & Co. timepiece on Antonella’s wrist.
Tamir politely stopped her and asked if he could show her watch to his audience. Initially, Antonella seemed surprised, reportedly thinking he wanted to enter the pickleball court. However, the moment quickly turned into a viral exchange once viewers realized who she was.
In the Instagram video’s comments section, many Messi fans instantly recognized Antonella. Meanwhile, reactions on X (formerly Twitter) were mixed some found the encounter entertaining, while others thought she appeared slightly uncomfortable with the spontaneous interaction.
Antonella wasn’t wearing just any watch. She had on the Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Rope Watch, a high-end timepiece crafted in 18-karat yellow gold. The 27mm case features a twisted rope bezel adorned with 38 round-cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.52 carats. The face is made of white mother-of-pearl, accented by golden hands and paired with Tiffany’s signature blue alligator leather strap.
This luxurious watch also runs on a Swiss solar-powered movement and offers water resistance up to 30 meters. A perfect fusion of fine jewelry and horological craftsmanship, the Schlumberger Rope model was officially launched in September 2025.
Although 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 standing next to Messi.
