A big watch green on the wrist of Cristiano Ronaldo. A unique piece of great value: a Caviar Tourbillon realized by Jacob & Co., a brand of which the Portuguese champion has been testimonial for almost 20 years and is worth 770 thousand dollars (just over 700 thousand euros).

And that’s not even the highlight of Cristiano Ronaldo’s collection. Because he also owns a Montres Breguet Double Tourbillon (720 thousand euros) and aFrank Muller 7008
