Saranggani Congressman Manny Pacquiao looked dapper in an open suit paired with a checkered shirt on Friday, August 24.

The world boxing champ wore the laidback style in hosting an episode of his GMA-7 variety game show Manny Many Prizes.

But what caught our eye was the expensive watch on his left wrist. It was gold, and was studded with diamonds— from its face and all over the wristband.

It's a Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II automatic watch in brilliant karat.

This particular timepiece has an 18-karat gold case, face, and bracelet that are studded with over 300 diamonds.

Its bezel—the round edge surrounding the glass—is also made of 18-karat gold and is encrusted with 36 cubic zirconia diamonds and 12 black sapphires.

The cost: 5.8 million pesos.

The GMT-Master II design, which also comes in less swankier stainless steel, is very popular amongst the world's hottest celebrities.

Online resource Oysterinfo.com has spotted the likes of Hollywood actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gerard Depardieu, and musicians Eric Clapton and Phil Collins sporting their GMT-Masters in various occasions.

Another website, Coolspotters.com, has also seen the watch model on Keanu Reeves in the movie Street Kings (2008), Kevin Costner in Revenge (1990), Jason Bateman in The Switch (2010), and Shane West in the currently airing U.S. TV series Nikita.

In 2009, Manny was spotted by luxury watch website Haute Time wearing another gold Rolex watch known as the President, which—at that time— had a standard retail price of US$40,000 or about 1.8 million pesos.

With watches like these in Manny’s collection, it's no wonder he landed the 15th spot in this year’s list of highest paid celebrities published by Forbes Magazine.

    what about your shirt manny? magkano ba yan? about your haircut, magkano naman ang ibinayad mo? maganda sana everytime na lalabas ka ng bahay may nakasabit na price tag sa likod mo para alam ng tao kung magkano lahat ang nakakabit sa katawan mo sa bawat araw. Idol kita Manny. Sige, ipagpatuloy mo lang yan.

    true its his money, eh bakit pa ba sya nag congress man, parang malaki ang insecurity, just be a boxer, period, huwag nag makisawsaw sa politics, showbiz, pero good common sense will dictate that he should refrain from being too showy, congressman ng isang poorest dsitrict sa pinas, politician ng isang third world country tapos million million ang relos, besides, just because one is rich does NOT completely eliminate that one do not steal, di ba mayayaman din mga nasa gobyerno, power begets power

    kumbaga kay Manny sa laki ng kita nya 500 pesos lang yan. Happy for him pinaghirapan nya yan at karapatan nyang gastusin kung san nya gustuhin. Wag ng magsabi dito na sana dapat idonate na lang sa charity dahil Manny is also doing that. At pera nya yon wala tayong pakialam at karapatan kung san nya gusto gastusin,

    Good for him. It's his money and he worked hard for it, so he can spend it anyway he wants.
