Audemars Piguet has a new ambassador. Who do you think this guy? It turns out to the footballer Lionel Messi. In joining the Audemars Piguet “family”, Lionel messi has becomes the first footballer to acciate his name with that of a prestigious Swiss watch brand. And who is Lionel Messi? Let me tell.
Lionel Messi, one of the FC Barcelona stars is 22 years old. He has overcome serious health problems and managed to become one of the most prized footballers. Only last year he was named FIFA world Player of the year. And Player of the Spanish league, having also been awarded the Gold Ball award.
Why Audemars Piguet chose Messi to be his ambassador. See what the Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk said about Messi, then you will why.“Lionel Messi is an exceptional man, the greatest player of his generation. This young and talented athlete not only embodies pure sporting genius, but also the courage and the determination of a man who fights against all odds to pursue his dreams. Above and beyond his intrinsic value, we are welcoming a big-hearted man with valuable human qualities into the Audemars Piguet family”
If that still can't convince you then see what the Audemars Piguet said. Audemars Piguet officials say they identify with Messi’s journey, as the 135-year history of the manufacture has also been punctuated by many obstacles. Moreover, both Messi and Audemars Piguet are concerned with the future of the young generations, which they are helping through their foundations. Starting this year, Lionel Messi is also a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.
