Consistently and carefully driving in a point-scoring position until engine trouble forced him to retire right at the end. This sentence sums up the events of the 2022 Italian GP for the 2021 Italian GP winner, Daniel Ricciardo. The outgoing McLaren man seems to be surrounded by poor luck. The Australian is yet to secure a seat for the 2023 F1 season and this poor run of form and luck is damaging his chances of doing so.

As time passes, there’s a feeling the ‘Honey Badger‘ will not be traveling with the circus. The Woking outfit has left the Australian completely stranded with the untimely contract termination. However, even if this signals the end of Ricciardo’s time in F1, it won’t hurt him monetarily.

To put things in perspective, with the sale of just one of his many watches, Daniel Ricciardo can make millions of dollars.

The watch in question is a Richard Mille RM 67-02. The RM 67-02, weighing just 1 ounce, is one of the lightest timepieces ever created. RM 67-02 is a unique piece, which is why it does not have a market retail price. However, watch expert Nico Leonard believes, that if auctioned, Ricciardo’s watch will easily be valued at $2 million.

There aren’t a lot of unique pieces to go around. However, in collaboration with Richard Mille, McLaren is launching their series of watches. The first in the series is the RM 50-03 watch created in a 10-year collaboration with the constructor.

Apart from the Richard Mille collections, let’s have a look at the other watches Daniel Ricciardo owns.

A look at other extravagant watches owned by Daniel Ricciardo

Before he was facing an uncertain future, the Honey Badger was on the top of his game. Even considered one of the best on the grid at Red Bull, the F1 veteran has seen better times. As the best of the grid earn the best on the grid as well, it’s safe to assume the Australian has amassed quite some wealth over the course of his F1 career.

Daniel Ricciardo has not shied away from spending a small fortune on his watches, as the RM 67-02 is not the only extravagant piece in his collection. The watch enthusiast owns a rose gold Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980 as well, which is valued at $280,000.
