The two co-branded Highlife models, an automatic for men and a quartz for women, mark the first time the Geneva watchmaker has partnered with a professional sports league, and the Highlife is the logical home for them. It is the brand’s sport watch collection, built around a case that accepts either a rubber strap or a steel bracelet, and the padel treatment is applied with restraint: a matte-grained blue dial, luminous markers, and strap colors drawn from the league’s own palette rather than a wholesale redesign. Both references are limited editions, with 500 automatics and 300 quartz pieces, and both carry PPL branding on an engraved, screw-down case back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlife x PPL Automatic: 39 mm Steel Case, Caliber FC-303 and 68-Hour Power Reserve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Highlife x PPL Automatic Limited Edition is cased in 39 mm of 316L stainless steel with brushed and polished surfaces, and the contrast of textures carries onto the dial, where applied indexes and a date window at 3 o’clock sit on the grained blue surface beneath a convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. Luminous detailing keeps the display legible after dark. Inside is the self-winding caliber FC-303, which delivers a 68-hour power reserve, and the case is water resistant to 10 ATM. The strap is the most direct reference to the sport: a rubber strap in PPL Cancha Blue and Copa Gold with perforated contrast detail that recalls the pattern of a padel racket. A quick-release system allows it to be swapped for the supplied stainless steel bracelet, so the same watch can move from court to office without a tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlife x PPL Quartz 31 mm with Caliber FC-240 and Five-Year Battery Life\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Highlife x PPL Quartz Limited Edition brings the same design language to a 31 mm case, retaining the matte-grained blue dial, luminous hands and markers, and date display, along with the combination of rubber strap and steel bracelet. Here the PPL-branded strap comes in blue and soft white. Power comes from the quartz caliber FC-240, which offers 60 months of battery life, and the case is water resistant to 5 ATM. Mike Dorfman, CEO of the Pro Padel League, has described the project as a reflection of how far the sport has come, and Jeffrey Cohen of Citizen Watch America framed the Highlife as the right platform to translate the energy of padel into a watch that remains unmistakably Frederique Constant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederique Constant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242829885611,"sku":"FC-303PPL3NH26","price":2850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/frederique-constant-highlife-x-ppl-automatic-limited-edition-fc-303ppl3nh26.webp?v=1791923325","url":"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/products\/frederique-constant-highlife-x-ppl-automatic-limited-edition-fc-303ppl3nh26","provider":"Exquisite Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
