After parting ways with MU amid controversy, Ronaldo decided to go to Al Nasr to “retire” with a salary of more than 200 million USD/year. Even though he accidentally called Saudi Arabia South Africa during the press conference, Ronaldo had his own way to praise the new country he came to compete in.
Specifically, Ronaldo bought a special watch worth 780,000 USD (18 billion VND). Ronaldo is the brand ambassador for Jacob & Co and they created the “Caviar Flyin Tourbillon” exclusively for him to use in Saudi Arabia, with an 18K white gold Caviar case design measuring 47mm x 15.85mm, designed studded with 388 green Tsavorite gemstones. These stones are said to be 200 times rarer than emeralds but are less expensive.

This design turns Ronaldo’s watch into sparkling green, the symbolic color of Saudi Arabia. The engine of the “Caviar Flyin Tourbillon” is the JCAA43, made up of 216 parts, 27 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours.
Notably, Ronaldo only used this “super product” on the flight to Saudi Arabia. During the Al Nassr launching ceremony, the 37-year-old Portuguese striker wore a yellow watch, the traditional color of this club.
