Cristiano Ronaldo has invested significantly in building one of the world’s largest and most valuable watch collections. Known for his love of oversized timepieces adorned with diamonds and tourbillons, the Portuguese football star not only showcases his “golden foot” on the pitch but also flaunts a dazzling wrist. Wrist Enthusiast notes that during his rise to fame at Manchester United, he was often spotted wearing the extravagant Rolex Daytona, marking the beginning of his affinity for luxury watches.
Many of Ronaldo’s timepieces are priced higher than a car or even a home. With a staggering net worth of US$500 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth, he has indulged in acquiring some of the most exquisite watches from top brands. Here’s a look at seven of the most expensive watches in his collection:
7. Breguet Classique Grande Complication Double Tourbillon – US$800,000
