ALBAWABA - Manchester City's Pep Guardiola wore an expensive watch for the Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid in Madrid.

During the exciting match, which resulted in a 3-3 tie, the seasoned Spanish coach made an appearance. He was wearing an incredibly black watch from the upscale Swiss watch brand "Richard Mille." 

The Mirror website states that the exceptional timepiece from the opulent Swiss watchmaker is worth $1.4 million. Adding a new touch to the well-known coach's appearance during important games, this watch showcases his sophisticated taste and fascination with opulent details. 

The Daily Mail said that Guardiola wore an expensive timepiece. With only 50 in existence, Richard Mille's Calibre RM27-01 costs £1.1 million and is one of the rarest watches in the world. This expensive item is owned by Rafael Nadal, a tennis legend.

Guardiola wore the Calibre RM27-01, a watch with visible gears and hands and a manual winding tourbillon mechanism, in Madrid. The 50-piece watch is one of the most luminous mechanical watches ever made.

The watch's red tip shows the time while yellow lines and dots indicate minutes and hours. The 27-01 series, made of fifth-grade titanium, aluminum, and lithium, is the lightest mechanical watch at 18.83 grams, including its strap.

Richard Mille, the watch's creator, calls it a "triumph of engineering and technology," praising its specialized design for Nadal's tennis comfort. Guardiola's luxurious watch lends a touch of class to his sideline appearance during the Champions League match.
