Lionel Messi, the man the football
world calls the “magical one”, has joined the world of Audemars
Piguet and its 135 years of history. Understandably proud to be
welcoming him, Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk saluted the
arrival of this exceptional personality who has successively
overcome life’s various trials to reach the peak of his sport.
Speaking on the occasion, Philippe spoke about how fascinating a
sportsman Messi is, because he has managed to develop the skills
that have made him not just an accomplished sportsman but an
artist. |
