In addition to being known as a world football superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo is also known as the king of the fashion village by his hobby of luxury watches.
It goes without saying that Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has “golden foot”. But his wrist shines as well.
His timepieces got more brilliant, thanks to his appreciation of gems (and deeper pockets).
Here’s a look at 8 of the football legend’s priciest watch:
8. Rolex GMT Master Ice- $470,000
The Rolex GMT Master Ice is Rolex’s most expensive watch, selling for around $470,000. This accessory is crafted from 18 karat white gold and 30 karat diamonds. The case is 13mm thick and water resistant to 330 feet.
The automatic movement used by Rolex in this design has a power reserve of 50 hours. While most of the watch face is covered with brilliant-cut diamonds, the bezel is set with brilliant baguette-cut diamonds, creating a beautiful and subtle contrast.
