Julio Iglesias gave a Cartier gold watch to the women he fell in love with, truth or legend? This is the price of an expensive garment

“Feminine”, that’s an adjective that Julio Iglesias earned with his career full of success as well as the women who passed through his life. Officially, two of them, Isabel Preysler and Miranda Rijnsburger, occupied his heart; But there were others who marked his life and to whom he gave a Cartier gold watch after the end of the romance.

Legend has it that at least three thousand women passed through the life, that is, through the bed, of the artist who is turning 80 years old. His eldest sons Chabeli and Julio Iglesias Jr confirmed in a documentary dedicated to their father that he was a man who lived surrounded by women.

However, the figure that everyone is talking about is somewhat high, so much so that his former manager Alfredo Fraile even denied it. “There were not three thousand, nor two thousand, nor a thousand, nor 500. That is an exaggeration”, he commented in his book confessional secrets which was published in 2014.

What he confirmed in the text is the gift the singer gave to the women, since he was the one in charge of buying them, according to the publication of the Spanish El País in 2019.

“We had a friend in Puerto Rico who was a Cartier representative. One day Julio said to me: ‘Tell him to bring me a watch because I want to give it to this girl.’ Then six more arrived and six more,” admitted a person close to the artist who also mentioned that the gifts were “kept on the nightstand.”

How much is the Cartier watch that Julio Iglesias gave women?

The glory of the conqueror will follow him forever and will undoubtedly remain in the memory of those who passed through his life and who received Cartier as a seal of what they lived together.

The RTVE review mentions that the gold watch was a gift to women with whom he was serious, which Jordi González agreed with in the special “Papa turns 80” in the show “Lazos de sangre”.

“He gave a Cartier watch to all the women who were important in his life at the end of the relationship,” he recalled at the time. But how much is the piece worth that Julio Iglesias’ wives have to keep.

Cartier is a renowned French brand whose origin dates back to the distant year 1847 and which has a complete collection of jewelry and watches, among which the gold coin that was one of the favorites of Princess Diana of Wales stands out.

If Diana’s watch is the same one ordered by Julio Iglesias, then it is a classic Tank Française de Cartier model created in 1917. According to a Forbes publication, this watch, which Meghan Markle also boasted, reaches a value of around 20,000 kuna, or 21,280 dollars.

“The medium-sized (29.95 mm x 28.46 mm) Tank Française in yellow gold with a quartz movement (battery-operated) with a gold crown decorated with a sapphire cabochon is priced at €26,400,” equivalent to $28,100, according to the media outlet in question.

Although this icon of watchmaking will surely be priceless for the women who received it from Julio Iglesias. (AND)
