Cristiano Ronaldo’s Rolex Daytona. This particular model comes with the gold rolex oyster bracelet.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is one of the best professional footballers of all time and is considered the greatest Portuguese player of all time. The Portuguese soccer star has captained some of the greatest football teams in the world including Manchester United, the Portugal national team and Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is one of the most prolific goal scorers with several records for most goals and assists. He has won over 32 trophies, won 5 Ballon d’Or awards and four European Golden Shoes. He even finished as runner-up 3 times for 3 more Ballon d’Or awards behind the great Lionel Messi. He has won a golden boot and a silver boot for 1st and 2nd highest goal scorer in the Euro championships of 2020 and 2016 respectively.
He has earned the reputation as possibly the greatest of all time, and has been paid handsomely for it. In 2016 and 2017 Ronaldo was the world’s highest-paid athlete, and has earned in excess of $1 billion in his career.
Ronaldo has overcome great adversity in his lifetime on his path to greatness. He was born in extreme poverty and shared a room with his siblings. As a teen he had to undergo heart surgery due to a racing heart condition. Ronaldo quit school to focus on his sport and he excelled in dramatic fashion, showing off his excellent skill and flashy style at every level.
He garnered the attention of Manchester United and became the most expensive teenager in English football history when he received a fee of over 12 million dollars to play in the 2003-4 season. He was given the lucky number 7 on his jersey which had been worn by David Beckham and many other soccer greats. However, his skill soon rose to the occasion and established Ronaldo as possibly the greatest footballer to wear the number 7.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Rolex Daytona
Ronaldo has earned so much in his lifetime that he really deserves to wear the best timepieces. He owns many timepieces but he has a soft spot for the Rolex crown. He owns a $712,000 20-carat diamond encrusted and 18 carat white gold Rolex GMT Master Ice. He has a gold pepsi Rolex GMT and a stainless steel Rolex Daytona with black dial.
However today, we are going to focus on his Yellow Gold Rolex Daytona. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Rolex Daytona has a masterpiece design with diamond studs for the hour markers and a black dial with the standard 3 smaller inner dials in a triangular formation. The case is 40 mm made from a block of pure 18 ct yellow gold. It has a matching yellow gold Oyster Bracelet.
The tachymetric scale lays on top of the yellow gold bezel. On the right side of the timepiece are the two gold pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock and the winding crown. Each possess the triplock waterproofness to 100 meters.
The new 4130 caliber powers the timepiece with an incredible 72 hour power reserve. The caliber has several functions powering the center hour, minute and seconds hands, the small seconds at 6 o’clock, a chronograph center hand, a 30 minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 12 hour counter at 9 o’clock. It also has a stop seconds hack ability to assist with precise time settings.
Although the diamond hour markers are not luminescent, the minute and hour hands are. The Cosmograph Rolex Daytona in yellow gold has an msrp of $38,600, but it is unlikely you will find this masterpiece anywhere for that price today.
Alternative Bands for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Rolex Daytona
Rubber B has developed an extensive selection for the Rolex Daytona. There are the Swimskin Ballistic series which is a machine generated texture that looks like real fabric but is truly 100% vulcanized rubber. You get all the texture with the waterproofness and comfortable fit that comes with the greatness of Swiss engineering.
The Swimskin Alligator series looks and feels like real alligator hide but is 100% rubber. Rubber B also comes with several Solid Colors and Two-Tone color options as well. These straps are calibrated to fit the Rolex Daytona with the Rubber B “Blocked Integration” engineering which incorporates solid inserts for a flawless, motionless flush mount to the Daytona case.
Rubber B has also three other styles, including the Classic Series which feature a rubber band with the color and style of your choice and the ability to use your original Rolex clasp. The Tang Buckle Series is for owners that would prefer to use a 16L steel tang buckle instead of the orignal Rolex folding clasp.
Rubber B also has the industrial strength Velcro Series with a velcro clasp and titanium loop made for strength. Finally, the new Rubber Cuff Series offers the Daytona owner the ability to have the feel of a combat strap like a NATO band, which is still 100% vulcanized rubber.
