Ronaldo shows off £1.85 million diamond watch

  /  Ben

Cristiano Ronaldo sported a customised watch at his press conference on Monday night that appeared to be modelled on the Jacob&Co Caviar Tourbillon range. 

The emerald version in the collection fetches an eye-watering £1.85 million, although the Juventus’ forward's timepiece appeared to have been finished with 424 glistening white diamonds. 

A similarly flashy customised watch, which appears to have been designed by Franck Muller, was bought by rapper Wizkid who is said to have paid $1.2m (£850,000).

Ronaldo is back in Manchester to take on his former club in the Champions League as the Portuguese prepares to line up for Juventus in the eagerly anticipated Group H showdown at Old Trafford.  

It is some upgrade on Ronaldo's wrist after the Portuguese star was previously spotted sporting a £100,000 Jacob and Company limited edition H24 with a total diamond weight of 15.25 carats.

He became a brand ambassador for Jacob&Co back in 2013 while at Real Madrid and is now showing off one of their most expensive assets from the collection.

Ronaldo unsurprisngly blows other star names in football out of the water when it comes to the cost of his watch of choice but he has some catching up to do if he wants the most expensive in the world of sport.

Floyd Mayweather, according to Forbes' calculations, boasts a £14m billionaire diamond tourbillon watch.
