The watch that famous soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nasr) gave to his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez as a 30th birthday gift has become a hot topic.
On the 27th of last month (local time), Rodriguez posted several photos of her trip to the Maldives with her children for her birthday on her social media, and also released a photo of the watch she received as a gift from Ronaldo.
What Ronaldo gave as a gift was a digital watch with a pink strap, with diamonds encrusted on the front. Rodriguez captioned a photo of her watch with the words, “Thank you, my love.”
Some people reacted to this watch by saying, “It looks like a toy.” On the 31st of last month, a Spanish morning show host said, “The watch resembles a popular children’s accessory,” and added, “Rodriguez seems to value inner value more than material possessions. “Isn’t it a typical toy?” he said sarcastically.
According to soccer media outlet ‘Goal.com’, this watch is a product of luxury watch brand ‘Jacob & Co.’ and was custom-made for Rodriguez. It is known that Ronaldo paid about $100,000 (approximately 130 million won) to make the watch and did not receive any change.
Jacob & Co. was founded by Jacob Arabo in New York, USA in 1986 and entered the watch industry in 2002. It is famous for presenting unique watches using jewelry cutting techniques.
Jacob & Co. has maintained a close partnership with Ronaldo for over 20 years. In May of last year, a brand agreement ceremony was held with Ronaldo's own brand ‘CR7’ and a new collection was introduced. At that time, Ronaldo received a diamond watch worth over 100 million won from Arabo as a gift. Ronaldo's ceremony is engraved on the back of this watch.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez first met as customers and employees at a Gucci store in Madrid, Spain, in 2016, and developed into lovers the following year. Afterwards, they lived together and had a child. Currently, Rodriguez is working as a model.
