Liam Payne’s Rolex Disappears

This Rolex, estimated to be worth about 45,000 dollars (around 40,000 euros), was a central part of Liam Payne’s possessions. Hotel surveillance cameras confirm that he was wearing the watch “two to three hours before his fatal fall,” according to a police source who spoke to the Argentine daily La Nacion. However, upon the discovery of his body, the watch had vanished.

Despite an extensive search of the singer’s hotel room by the police, the accessory remains missing. According to an investigator cited by La Nacion, “We know, based on the footage that was analyzed, that Payne was wearing a Rolex the day of his death. We searched the room at the CasaSur hotel where he was staying, and we did not find it.”

In response to this mystery, Argentine authorities have raided the homes of several individuals who were with Liam Payne in his final hours, including a close friend, a hotel employee, and a suspected drug supplier. These three individuals are now facing serious charges, including abandonment of a person followed by death and supplying drugs, crimes punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

The investigation has also expanded to the residences of two escorts who are said to have been with the artist on the afternoon of his death. So far, none of these efforts have been successful in locating the watch. A new inspection of the CasaSur room has been ordered to check if the object may have been hidden or forgotten.

A Rolex Symbol of Mystery and Luxury

The watch in question embodies the essence of luxury watchmaking. With its solid gold design, it represents a timeless piece, highly coveted by collectors for its elegance and technical precision. Although the exact model has not been identified, it could belong to the Day-Date or Submariner ranges, known for their durability and accuracy. While the monetary value of the piece remains significant, it is primarily its role in this investigation that fascinates: was it an opportunistic theft or simply an accidental disappearance?

While the details of Liam Payne’s death remain sealed by court order, the police are working hard to solve this mystery, which has become a key element of the case. Authorities have expressed their determination to recover the watch, essential not only for his loved ones but also to better understand the events that led to the tragedy. According to a source close to the case, “The most urgent thing was to search for the watch at the homes of the people Payne had contact with before his death. Another inspection will now be carried out to determine if it was left somewhere in the room.”
