Palmer was snapped wearing a stunning Richard Mille RM 07-04 watch worth £220,000 as he boarded Chelsea’s flight to the United States for the Club World Cup. The limited edition timepiece, inspired by Italy’s elite car brands and finished in tricolour hues, was visible in a social media post shared by the Blues.

The watch, crafted from lightweight titanium, is popular among top footballers, and Palmer’s version of the Richard Mille timepiece is one of the rarest. The Chelsea star, reportedly earning £130,000 per week, had no problem shelling out for the piece, cementing his status as one of football’s newest fashion icons.
Chelsea open their Club World Cup campaign against LAFC before facing Flamengo and ES Tunis in the group stage. Enzo Maresca will be hoping that the tournament can kick off a new phase in the Blues' history as they look to get back to winning titles consistently after a few disappointing seasons.
