One such event that many are buzzing about this week is the 2020 UEFA European Championship, which was originally scheduled to take place June 12th &#8211; July 12th of last year and will instead make its triumphant return June 11th &#8211; July 11th of 2021. Despite being delayed a full year due to the pandemic, the soccer tournament will keep the name UEFA Euro 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament will take place in 11 cities associated with the UEFA (Union of European Football Association), including Munich, Amsterdam, Saint Petersburg, London, and Rome (just to name a few). And while attendance will be limited in accordance with social distancing requirements, fans will still be allowed to attend. Some of the biggest names in soccer will be among those participating in the tournament and if you&#8217;re at all familiar with the sport, you might also know that they boast some seriously awe-inspiring watch collections. To celebrate the return of UEFA Euro 2020, let&#8217;s take a closer look at what Rolex watches those soccer stars are sporting on their wrists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/buying-guides\/rolex-watches-ultimate-buying-guide.html\" title=\"Ultimate Buying Guide on Rolex\">Click here for our Ultimate Buying Guide on Rolex watches.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex\/\" title=\"Rolex\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46392 size-full\" title=\"Rolex\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex\" width=\"436\" height=\"46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg 436w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1-300x32.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Rolex Yacht-Master II 116689 &#8211; Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48468 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116689 - Cristiano Ronaldo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RONALDO.png\" alt=\"Cristiano Ronaldo Rolex Yacht-Master II Platinum 116689\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RONALDO.png 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RONALDO-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RONALDO-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RONALDO-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RONALDO-570x380.png 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Yacht-Master II 116689 Key Features:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Production Years:<\/strong> 2010 &#8211; Present<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Case Size:<\/strong> 44mm<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Materials:<\/strong> 18k White Gold &amp; 950 Platinum<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Functions:<\/strong> Time w\/ Running Seconds, Programmable Countdown Timer<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Dial:<\/strong> White w\/ Luminous Hour Markers<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Bezel:<\/strong> Ring Command, 950 Platinum w\/ 10-Minute Scale<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Crystal:<\/strong> Sapphire (Flat)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Movement:<\/strong> Rolex Caliber 4161<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Water Resistance:<\/strong> 100 Meters \/ 330 Feet<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Strap\/Bracelet:<\/strong> Oyster Bracelet<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-yacht-master-1.html\" title=\"Rolex Yacht-Master\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46392 size-full\" title=\"Shop Rolex Yacht-Master Watches\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Yacht-Master\" width=\"436\" height=\"46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg 436w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1-300x32.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our list kicks off with arguably one of the most impressive watch collections in soccer. With a reported net worth of $500 million, it comes as no surprise that Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo has a remarkable watch collection. He&#8217;s been known to indulge in more extravagant watches, such as the Franck Muller 7008 T INV C INV R set with hundreds of diamonds and rubies that some speculate will set you back anywhere between $1.5 &#8211; $2 million. His watch box is also home to an iced-out Jacob &amp; Co. Grand Baguette Diamond watch ref. 330.800.30.BD.BD.1BD decorated with 761 diamonds that is worth around $1 million.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ronaldo&#8217;s collection isn&#8217;t entirely out of reach for most collectors. While he does boast a rather opulent diamond-encrusted GMT-Master II &#8220;Ice&#8221; ref. 116769TBR dubbed the most expensive Rolex and a sapphire and ruby GMT-Master II ref. 116758SARU, the soccer star also owns numerous Rolex wristwatches that will appeal to the everyday watch enthusiast. Among the most notable are the yellow gold Yacht-Master II ref. 116688, white gold and platinum Yacht-Master II ref. 116689, yellow gold Sky-Dweller ref. 326938, and the Cosmograph Daytona in both stainless steel (ref. 116520) and 18k yellow gold (ref. 116528).<\/p>\n<h2>Rolex Submariner 116618LB &#8211; Sergio Ramos, Spain<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48469 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Submariner ref. 116618LB - Sergio Ramos\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RAMOS.png\" alt=\"Sergio Ramos Rolex Submariner Blue 116618LB \" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RAMOS.png 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RAMOS-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RAMOS-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RAMOS-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_RAMOS-570x380.png 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Submariner 116618LB Key Features:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Production Years:<\/strong> 2008 &#8211; 2020<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Case Size:<\/strong> 40mm<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Materials:<\/strong> 18k Yellow Gold<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Functions:<\/strong> Time w\/ Running Seconds, Date Display<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Dial:<\/strong> Blue w\/ Luminous Hour Markers<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Bezel:<\/strong> Unidirectional, Blue Ceramic Insert w\/ 60-Minute Scale<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Crystal:<\/strong> Sapphire (Flat w\/ Cyclops Lens)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Movement:<\/strong> Rolex Caliber 3135<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Water Resistance:<\/strong> 300 Meters \/ 1,000 Feet<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Strap\/Bracelet:<\/strong> Oyster Bracelet<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-submariner-1.html\" title=\"Rolex Submariner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46392 size-full\" title=\"Shop Rolex Submariner Watches\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Submariner\" width=\"436\" height=\"46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg 436w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1-300x32.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Spanish soccer star and Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos is one of the top players in the world. While it has since been confirmed that he will be leaving the team on June 30th and will be left off Spain\u2019s roster for Euro 2020 following an injury-plagued season, his luxury watch collection is still worth highlighting, with brands such as Patek Philippe, IWC, Bulgari, and Rolex taking up space in his impressive timepiece collection.<\/p>\n<p>Ramos was recently spotted wearing a White Rolesor Datejust II ref. 116334 with a black dial. The watch has since been discontinued (along with all Datejust II models) but can still be found on the pre-owned market for around $10k. Sergio Ramos\u2019 Rolex collection also includes the coveted Everose Yacht-Master 126655 on an Oysterflex bracelet that retails for $27,300 and a handsome yellow gold Submariner 116618LB with a blue dial and bezel, which is available on the secondary market for around $40k.<\/p>\n<h2>Rolex Sky-Dweller 326938 &#8211; David Alaba, Austria<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48471 size-full\" title=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 326938 - David Alaba\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_ALABA.png\" alt=\"David Alaba Rolex Sky-Dweller Gold 326938\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_ALABA.png 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_ALABA-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_ALABA-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_ALABA-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SOCCER_ALABA-570x380.png 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Sky-Dweller 326938 Key Features:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Production Years:<\/strong> 2012 &#8211; Present<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Case Size:<\/strong> 42mm<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Materials:<\/strong> 18k Yellow Gold<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Functions:<\/strong> Time w\/ Running Seconds, Date Display, Annual Calendar, GMT-Functionality<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Dial:<\/strong> Multiple Options Available<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Bezel:<\/strong> Ring Command, 18k Yellow Gold, Fluted Style<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Crystal:<\/strong> Sapphire (Flat w\/ Cyclops Lens)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Movement:<\/strong> Rolex Caliber 9001<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Water Resistance:<\/strong> 100 Meters \/ 330 Feet<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>&#8211; Strap\/Bracelet:<\/strong> Oyster Bracelet<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-sky-dweller-1.html\" title=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46392 size-full\" title=\"Shop Rolex Sky-Dweller Watches\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Sky-Dweller\" width=\"436\" height=\"46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1.jpg 436w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/shop-the-collection1-300x32.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>David Alaba currently plays for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the Austria national team.
