Jon Rahm shows off $520,000 super rare watch just moments before withdrawing from the US Open

The last few weeks have been a difficult period for Jon Rahm. While he was set to play in LIV Golf Houston earlier this month, he had to drop his plan due to a foot infection. Later, when everyone thought they would see him at the US Open, Rahm once again had to withdraw since he did not recover.

However, the Spaniard was spotted at Pinehurst before this event. During his appearance on one of the most difficult golf courses, Rahm was spotted wearing a watch that grabbed everyone's attention. It was a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Ruby’ 126599TRU in 18k white gold.

The watch was part of Rolex's 2023 out-of-catalogue collection. It features a baguette-cut rubies bezel paired with a black dial with 11 baguette-cut rubies as an hour marker. The retail price of the watch is $520,000.

Even though Jon Rahm could not make an impact due to his injury, he made sure that his fashion game left an impression at the US Open. For those curious about Rahm's return to action, he is most likely set to play at LIV Golf Nashville.
