Cole Palmer was seen wearing a watch worth an eye-watering £220,000 as the Chelsea star boarded a flight bound for the Club World Cup.
Palmer, 23, wore the watch as he gazed out of a plane window in a photo uploaded to the Blues' social media accounts before they took off for the United States.
He was sporting a Richard Mille RM 07-04 that is claimed to have been inspired as a nod to Italy’s impressive collection of luxury car brands.
A green, black, white, and red colour scheme also pays homage to the tricolour of the Italian flag and is made from lightweight titanium.
That has seen the watch become a popular piece with professional footballers - with Palmer being the latest to exhibit it.
Palmer has been able to shell out for the rare watch thanks to the salary he commands at Stamford Bridge, which sits at a reported £130,000, per Capology.
Enzo Maresca's side will face Los Angeles FC in their first match of the tournament on Monday evening, before taking on Brazilian side Flamengo three days later.
Their final group sees them play ES Tunis, after which they will hope to have advanced to the knockout stages and the final - which takes place on July 13.
Maresca has thrown up some surprises with his squad selection, which has seen highly-rated youngster Kendry Paez fly to the US despite being omitted.
The expectation remains that Paez, the 18-year-old Ecuadorian, will leave on loan this summer.
He was signed on a pre-agreement at the age of 16 for £17million, and Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg is his likeliest destination.
While it is understood Paez’s preference would be to be around Chelsea’s first team over the next season, the club are considering what is best for his progress.
Andrey Santos has been used as an example over how a temporary stay at Strasbourg can benefit beneficial, with the 21-year-old Brazilian among those in their Club World Cup squad in the United States.
Chelsea flew to Philadelphia on Friday to begin their prep for FIFA’s expanded club competition.
New man Liam Delap is expected to make his debut during the tournament after signing from Ipswich for £30million.

And then he will complain when thieves steal it, either off his arm or break into his house, only got himself to blame, if I was his insurance guy, you had it stolen, well you advertised it. tough luck. claim denied
