We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers via other online sites with a 5.0 star rating. FIFA 1978 World Cup Watch - OWNED BY SOCCER LEGEND DANIEL PASSARELLA Certificate of Authenticity - Full Provenance with 2 COAs - 1 Year Warranty Today's offering showcases this very rare 1978 FIFA World Cup watch owned by soccer legend Daniel Passarella that comes from the collection of former Argentina National Team member Juan Carlos Marenda. As soccer fans know, the 1978 FIFA World Cup was one for the ages, when the host nation, Argentina, became World Champions for the first time, in extra time in front of their home fans Bueno Aires on June 25, 1978. And this watch was not only from the historic event, it was owned by the team's captain, Daniel Passarella. Daniel Passarella played a pivotal role in Argentina's famous victory at the 1978 FIFA World Cup, serving as the team's captain and defensive anchor. As a commanding center-back, Passarella combined fierce tackling, aerial dominance, and technical skill with a natural leadership that galvanized the squad. At just 25 years old, he led a team under immense pressure on home soil and became the youngest captain at the time to lift the World Cup trophy. His superstar presence brought stability to the Argentine backline, while his ability to contribute offensively—especially through set pieces—made him a constant threat. Beyond his on-field prowess, Passarella's fierce competitiveness and determination embodied the spirit of a nation yearning for global recognition, cementing his legacy as a cornerstone of Argentina’s first World Cup triumph. He would go on to become one of the greatest Argentine football players of all time and is widely regarded as one of the best center-backs to ever play the sport. The Swiss watch has a neo-classic look, and its dial is emblazoned with the FIFA logo and two soccer balls servicing as a world map. It has a coin edge bezel with Roman numeral hour markings and a Veau Facon Requin (shark-style) leather strap. We have not polished the watch or done anything to the outside of it - we left it just as we acquired it. The only work we have done on the watch is one of our Master Watchmakers, who was an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has installed a new battery making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
