In addition to his illustrious career on the field, Cristiano Ronaldo is also famous for his expensive watch collection.
When Forbes unveiled its 2024 list of “The World’s Highest-Paid Athletes,” Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) topped the rankings with an impressive income of $260 million (over 6,608 billion VND). This marks the fourth time in his illustrious football career that he has achieved this prestigious position.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Portuguese football superstar boasts a staggering fortune of $600 million (more than 15,250 billion VND). Known for his penchant for luxury, Ronaldo’s watch collection stands out as a dazzling testament to his remarkable journey and success.
In 2008, early in his career, Ronaldo was often seen wearing a classic steel Rolex Daytona Ref. 116520 with a black dial. On the resale market, this watch model sells for $17,999-34,000 (457-864 million VND) (Photo: Wrist Enthusiast).

The case is set with 56 diamonds, while the bezel is set with 36 multi-colored baguette-cut sapphires. An original Rolex Daytona Rainbow sells for $500,000-750,000 (Photo: IFL Watches).
First released around 2014, the Rolex GMT Master-II Ice ref. 116769TBR remains one of the rarest watches ever made by the brand. When it was first released, it retailed for $485,350. This white gold GMT-Master features 30 carats of factory-cut diamonds on the dial, case, bezel, and bracelet. The dial is one of the highlights, with tiny diamond waves flowing across the face (Photo: @cristiano, Boss Hunting).
Another extremely rare watch that is completely encrusted with diamonds owned by Cristiano Ronaldo is the Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Tourbillon in white gold, which comes with a bracelet that matches the case and dial. This design costs $1.45 million (nearly 37 billion VND) (Photo: @cristiano, Superwatchman).
The striker born in 1985 was once spotted wearing the Franck Muller Invisible Baguette Diamonds Imperial Tourbillon. This accessory is encrusted with 424 baguette diamonds and rubies, priced at 2 million USD (more than 50 billion VND) (Photo: Wrist Enthusiast).
CR7’s Octo L’Originale Tourbillon Blue Full Baguette Diamonds features a BVL 263 automatic tourbillon and is set with 451 baguette-cut diamonds totaling just under 20 carats. The watch is priced at $708,000 and is limited to eight pieces (Photo: @cristiano, Boss Hunting).
This custom diamond-encrusted G-Shock watch was a gift from Cristiano Ronaldo to his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez for her 30th birthday. Just a few months later, he wore the watch that reminded him of her on a trip to Slovenia for a Euro 2024 friendly ahead of the championship. The watch was customised by Jacob & Co. and is believed to cost around $100,000 (Photo: @cristiano, Boss Hunting).
During his official presentation after moving to Al Nassr, CR7 wore the Jacob and Co. Caviar Flying Tourbillon Tzavorites in white gold, worth $780,000 (nearly VND20 billion). The dial is completely set with over 130 baguette-cut gemstones. The invisible setting is extremely difficult to complete, as there is no visible support metal under the stone. This makes the diamond look bigger (Photo: IFL Watches).
Cristiano Ronaldo has been spotted wearing the Hublot Masterpiece MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-axis on several occasions. The watch shares many similarities with the brand’s Big Bang models (case shape and design). However, the Masterpiece also features a unique biaxial tourbillon at the bottom of the case. This is a one-of-a-kind watch, as there is only one of its kind, and it costs $1 million (more than VND25 billion) (Photo: @cristiano, Boss Hunting).
The Breguet Classique “Grande Complications” 50mm has a platinum case, with two rotating tourbillons. The watch is made of over 400 baguette-cut diamonds and the entire caseback is made of sapphire. This design costs $802,000 (more than 20 billion VND) (Photo: @cristiano, Boss Hunting).
Cristiano Ronaldo and Jacob & Co. have collaborated to design a unique Bugatti Chiron watch inspired by the exterior and interior of the player’s Bugatti Chiron CR7. The watch is made of titanium, has 232 baguette diamonds and 109 black sapphires with the “CR7” logo, and costs $1 million (more than 25 billion VND) (Photo: X, Wathes World).
The Grand Baguette Diamond has five dials, allowing it to track multiple time zones. The 47mm-wide, pentagonal-shaped watch features 761 diamonds adorning the case and dial. The design is worth $1 million (over VND25 billion) (Photo: Superwatchman).
CR7 certainly likes unique pieces. He owns the Girard Perregaux Planetarium Tri-axial, which is fully set with baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel and bracelet. The dial features a hand-painted titanium Earth model, a 24-hour rotation, and a rare triple-axis tourbillon. The accessory costs $2 million and is not available on the market (Photo: Superwatchman).
