The Ballon d’Or ceremony took place on Monday, an award presented each year by the magazine “France Football” to the best player in the world. The trophy was won by Karim Benzema, who brought the excitement at the “Théâtre du Châtelet” to a peak. But it was not the only trophy handed out, as Robert Lewandowski was also crowned with a special award (the Mueler Trophy) as the best striker of the season.
The two aforementioned protagonists appeared at the gala evening in their finest suits and accessories, or at least the ones they most wanted to show off. You could see two very different outfits between the Frenchman and the Pole. If the former shone with an imposing Richard Mille watch, the latter did so with a Casio model.

Some brands may not say much at first glance, but if we compare the models the footballers wore on their wrists, the difference in their prices is enormous.
Benzema’s RM 65-01 Red Gold is estimated to cost around 500,000 euros, while the gold-colored Unisex Casio Vintage worn by Lewandowski costs less than 43 euros.
The Polish striker’s remarkable simplicity has been noted by many commentators on social media because of a rather unpleasant incident shortly after he arrived at Barcelona. A Patek Philippe watch, valued at around 70,000 euros, was stolen from him. The police, in fact, managed to catch the thief and recover Lewa’s jewel.
