Harry Kane wins 2026 Ballon d'Or in London

Harry Kane has been awarded the 2026 Ballon d'Or, marking the first time an English player has received the honor since Michael Owen in 2001. The 33-year-old Bayern Munich striker accepted the prestigious trophy during a ceremony held in London on October 27, 2026, succeeding the previous year's winner, Ousmane Dembele.

Beyond the sporting achievement, Kane drew significant media attention for his choice of accessory at the gala. According to reports from the Sun, the footballer wore an exceptionally rare Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Blue Sapphire," valued at approximately one million pounds. This specific timepiece is crafted from 18-karat white gold, features a natural obsidian dial with silver highlights, and is adorned with 36 baguette-cut blue sapphires on the bezel. It is noted as being absent from the official Rolex commercial catalog, making it a highly exclusive item among luxury watch collectors.
