Cristiano Ronaldo recently made a touching gesture by gifting personalized luxury watches to his Portugal teammates from their 2025 Nations League victory.

The watches, commissioned from Jacob & Co., feature a bespoke design with the Portuguese crest and are part of a limited run of just 35.
This thoughtful act was reportedly done quietly, without seeking publicity, showcasing a more personal side of the renowned footballer. The custom watches are expected to be worth thousands of euros, reflecting their exclusive nature and materials. Ronaldo and Jota shared a significant bond on the field, having played together 32 times for the national team and scoring seven goals combined.
Following Jota's tragic passing, Ronaldo expressed his shock and offered condolences. He later explained his absence from the funeral, stating he didn't want to draw attention away from Jota's family. Ronaldo has continued to honor his former teammate, notably by pointing to the sky after scoring in a World Cup qualifier in September.
