Cristiano Ronaldo‘s new $700,000 Jacob & Co watch is turning heads.
The superstar striker posed with the exclusive blue sapphire-encrusted Jacob & Co watch in a post on Instagram. The watch, officially part of the Brilliant Flying Tourbillon collection, comes at a hefty price tag of $700,000.
The Brilliant Flying Tourbillon watch contains anti-reflective sapphire crystals on its front and back surfaces. The dial showcases baguette-cut gemstones that are cleverly mounted to conceal their settings. The watch also features a blue alligator leather strap.
Interestingly, the website advertises the high-end watch as a piece cut for women. But don’t tell that to the legend who also sips on a cup of coffee in a yellow and white polo in the picture.
Ronaldo adds another elegant timepiece to his growing watch collection
The $700k Jacob & Co watch is a small part of the superstar’s growing watch collection. Ronaldo sported the $1.5 million Muller Cintree Curvex Tourbillon 0001 watch at the Jake Paul fight last February.
Following his contract dissolution with Manchester United in November 2022, the iconic soccer star revealed another timepiece partnership with luxury jeweler Jacob and Co.
The watch notably displays an image of his goal against United, scored while playing for Real Madrid in the 2013 Champions League.
CR7 also owns a diamond-encrusted $2.3 million watch from Jacob and Co, making it his most expensive piece. Most recently, the Portuguese striker accompanied Jacob and Co’s inaugural store opening in Saudi Arabia.
Of course, the watch values are paltry compared to the $4.2 million a week Ronaldo earns playing for Saudi club Al-Nassr. The current salary makes him the highest-paid athlete in the world.
The striker, though, is hinting at recent frustrations with the club. The frontman could officially leave Saudi Arabia after one season and return to Europe to end his career. Or he could just retire — after all, he earns a reported $3 million per sponsored post to his mammoth 585 million Instagram followers.
