Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Baguette CR7 Pièce Unique

Jacob Arabo & Cristiano Ronaldo worked together to design a piece unique Bugatti Chiron timepiece from Jacob & Co. The watch details are inspired to match the exterior and interior of Cristiano Ronaldo's Bugatti Chiron CR7 car.

More than just a customer. The relationship between Jacob & Co. and CR7 aka Cristiano Ronaldo runs deep. The legend of football owns several bespoke Jacob & Co. timepieces. That includes his very own, made to order Bugatti Chiron...and many more to come.

This unique piece is covered with 232 white baguette diamonds and 109 black sapphires, totaling 21 ct. of gemstones. It also features the logo 'CR7'.

Even though it’s impossible to determine an exact price tag considering this watch was made-to-order, you can safely assume it cost him about US$1 million.
