Renowned luxury jewelry and watchmaker, Jacob & Co., has recently inaugurated its largest-ever store in Saudi Arabia, with soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo gracing the occasion while sporting his newest wrist masterpiece.
The opening event, held in Riyadh last week, witnessed the presence of the Portuguese football icon, who took to Instagram to showcase his latest acquisition, the “Heart Of CR7 Baguette” timepiece in an enchanting emerald hue. Alongside the гeveɑℓ, Ronaldo shared a snapshot with Jacob Arabo, the visionary founder behind this global luxury brand.
This “Heart Of CR7 Baguette” timepiece, valued at an impressive $117,000, is one of four new watch designs inspired by Ronaldo himself.
Boasting a diamond-adorned bezel, a vibrant colored crown, and an intricate depiction of Ronaldo within its intricate design, the watch features a captivating skeleton barrel cover resembling a soccer ball and a sapphire crystal caseback with Ronaldo adorned in his iconic number 7 jersey.
Ronaldo, a longstanding aficionado of the brand, had previously received a Jacob & Co. watch adorned with brilliant green gemstones.
The expansive new Jacob & Co. store, situated on Olaya Street, a prominent thoroughfare in Riyadh, spans over 220 square meters (approximately 2,400 square feet).
With boutiques gracing every continent, the brand is poised to unveil at least 10 more stores this year, including locations in Mumbai, Hong Kong, Macao, and Bahrain.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence is not only aligned with his ambassadorial role but also his recent entry into the Saudi Pro League, a move that has garnered significant attention.
This league is also rumored to be vying for another football luminary, Lionel Messi, with a potentially record-brеɑkinɡ $400 miℓℓiо𝚗 contract offer. This salary could potentially eclipse even Ronaldo’s substantial reported income of around $200 miℓℓiо𝚗.
In a previous release that captured headlines, Jacob & Co. introduced an awe-inspiring $20 miℓℓiо𝚗 yellow diamond watch, a symbol of opulence tailored for billionaires. As speculation surrounds Messi’s future, the world eagerly awaits whether he will seize the opportunity to make it his own, should his engagement with the Saudi Pro League materialize into reality.
