Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time Zinedine Zidane – who won his World Cup Medal for France in 1998 and Player of the Tournament in the 2006 World Cup – will sell his first personal watch for charity at Christie’s in Geneva on November 9. The Cartier Pasha was the first watch he bought for himself at the beginning of his professional career in Bordeaux nearly 35 years ago and he has worn it ever since. It will be sold in aid of the European Leukodystrophies Association (ELA) as part of a charitable sale of watches. ELA is a non profit organisation which funds medical research, raises public awareness and provides support to families dealing with diseases that destroy the central nervous system.
