Messi, 38, was not on the pitch as he was serving a one-match ban for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game last week.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner instead sat in the stands alongside his son Thiago, 12, in a stylish white shirt and beige shorts.
But it was the stunning Rolex Daytona "Barbie" that stole the show.
The incredible watch is built using a pink sapphire diamond, which matches the Inter Miami home kit, and features 18 carat yellow gold.
Reports suggest that only ten of the luxury accessory have been made by Rolex.
It is not available to buy anywhere and the prestigious watch brand have never advertised the piece.
They instead are believed to have contacted their most valued clients that are "deemed worthy of getting The Call from The Crown".
Celebs are said to have paid around £310,000 for the watch.
And if any of the ten where to become available on the market, they are likely to sell for £700,000 or higher.
The only other Rolex Daytona "Barbie" to be spotted was on the wrist of actor Mark Wahlberg.
Lionel Messi looks embarrassed as he and wife Antonela are shown on Coldplay kiss cam at Miami concert
After cheering on Inter Miami at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Messi and his family went to a Coldplay concert.
He was joined by his stunning wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three sons.
Messi hit the headlines at the gig after an awkward moment when they were shown on the kiss cam.
The couple did not kiss nor did they recreate the meme like many others had done of married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR employee Kristin Cabot trying to duck out the way of the camera amid an alleged affair.

Lionel Messi's bodyguard hit with new suspension three months after revealing he was banned from MLS
Lionel Messi 's bodyguard has been suspended for 'improper conduct' for the remainder of the Leagues Cup, according to reports. Following an incident in Inter Miami's game against Atlas this week, the disciplinary committee confirmed that a member of staff from the MLS club had been suspended. A statement read: 'After the July 30 Inter Miami CF vs. Club Atlas match, a member of Inter Miami's club delegation displayed improper conduct by entering restricted areas without an official event credential. 'In accordance with the Leagues Cup 2025 Tournament Regulations, the Disciplinary Committee has suspended the individual involved from all technical areas for the remainder of Leagues Cup 2025 and issued an undisclosed fine to Inter Miami CF.' ESPN have since reported that the individual in question is none other than Messi's personal bodyguard Yassine Cheuko. Cheuko was seen entering the pitch - after the final whistle - to break up a discussion between the two groups of players and made contact with individuals from Atlas. One Atlas star then addressed the issue in his post-match press conference and insisted that Cheuko did not have permission to enter the field. Defender Matheus Doria said: 'We already know that our board works very well and will take care of the issue. 'I understand that Messi's bodyguard is there to protect Messi from a possible entry by a fan, I don't know, but between players, he doesn't have that permission. 'It's not up to us to say much or give our opinion on the matter, but the board and those in charge of the Leagues Cup have already seen it and will take charge of what can and can't be done. 'Because as long as it protects not only Messi but the other players, and the physical integrity of the players who are there, that's fine. But if it's for other issues, no one will agree, but it's not up to me to do anything.' After serving a one-match suspension, Messi returned to action for Inter Miami in the game against Atlas and provided assists for both goals in the 2-1 victory. The news comes three months after Cheuko claimed that he had been banned for MLS and CONCACAF matches. Speaking to House of Highlights, he said in April: 'They don't allow me to be on the field anymore. I was in Europe for seven years working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch. 'I arrived in the United States, and in 20 months of work, 16 people have already invaded the pitch. There's a huge problem here. I'm not the problem. Let me help Messi. 'I love MLS and CONCACAF, but we have to work together. I love helping. I'm not better than anyone, but I have a wealth of experience in Europe. It's fine, I understand their decision, but I think we could do better'. Cheuko, a trained MMA fighter who was personally chosen by Inter Miami president David Beckham upon the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner's arrival in the US. In a bizarre turn of events, he recently doubled down on his desire to batter Logan Paul in the boxing ring. Paul initially challenged Messi to a fight amid the legal battle between their drinks brands Prime and Mas+. Cheuko offered to take Messi's place, but Paul reportedly turned down a £11.3million ($15m) boxing match and instead challenged him to a bare knuckle fight in the streets of Puerto Rico.
