6 dazzling additions to Cristiano Ronaldo’s luxury watch collection
The footballer’s US$10 million watch collection has seen 6 exciting new additions, flaunted at the Euros 2024 and to honour his Saudi football team Al-Nassr
In much the same way that he dominates on the pitch, CR7 has taken his horological hobby to stratospheric levels, fuelled by multimillion-dollar contracts, endorsements, brand collaborations and his record-breaking deal with Saudi football club Al-Nassr, worth an eye-watering US$640,000 a day. (He’s also recently become a part owner of the team, which reached the finals of this year’s Saudi Super Cup in Hong Kong, in August.)
Ronaldo’s watch vault has long been the stuff of legend, boasting several pieces valued in the seven-figure range. So what’s he been adding to the mix lately? For Ronaldo, a timepiece worthy of his attention (and millions) is typically imposing, colourful, ultra-exclusive, dripping in diamonds and, naturally, astronomically expensive.
Here are some of the latest luxury watches Ronaldo has been flaunting that tick all those boxes, and then some.
Rolex “Rainbow” Daytona in yellow gold with mother-of-pearl dial
At last year’s Euros 2024, Ronaldo made an unforgettable entrance as Team Portugal’s captain, wearing arguably one of the most coveted Rolexes ever made.
The Rainbow Daytona is already the stuff of legends among collectors, thanks to its gradient bezel of 36 baguette-cut sapphires. But Ronaldo’s version takes things to the next level with a rare mother-of-pearl dial. That detail makes it a grail within a grail: not only is the Rainbow produced in extremely limited numbers, but the MOP dial is an even scarcer variant, with each dial unique by nature. Standard Rainbow Daytonas already trade for US$400,000 to US$600,000 on the secondary market, but one with a mother-of-pearl dial can push that figure much higher.
