Conor McGregor splashed out more than €50,000 on a Rolex watch for his sister Erin’s birthday present.

The Dubliner flew in to appear at his eldest sister’s surprise 41st birthday party over the weekend and gifted her the Rolex, which costs €51,750.

The watch is an oyster perpetual day-date 36 in 18 ct white gold, with a white mother-of-pearl, a diamond set dial and diamond-set bezel. The watch is finished with a President bracelet.

According to Rolex website, it’s dial features diamonds in 18 ct gold settings and baguette-cut diamonds at 6 and 9 o'clock. The Day-Date was the first watch to indicate the day of the week spelt out in full when it was first presented in 1956.

The mother-of-two paid tribute to her baby brother and father-of-three, saying: "Best night ever 40 plus 1 was definitely worth the wait.
