Anant Ambani’s $4.6M Watch Stuns: Envision the charm of a timepiece that catches the eye of the world’s fourth-wealthiest person. At a pre-wedding celebration in India for billionaire heir Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, a video featuring Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his charitable partner Priscilla Chan surfaced online not long ago. The video shows the couple gazing in awe at Ambani’s exquisite Richard Mille watch. After Chan said, “This watch is fantastic,” Zuckerberg admitted, saying, “I know, I told him already.” Even though Zuckerberg isn’t usually one to wear timepieces, he did confess that Ambani’s eye-catching adornment had caught his attention. In all honesty, I’ve never been one to desire a wristwatch. I thought watches were cool before I saw it, but now I really enjoy Ambani’s pick, he said.

Without going into detail about the model, the 28-year-old billionaire confirmed to Chan that his watch was a Richard Mille. The RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish is only one of several unique Richard Mille timepieces in Ambani’s vast collection. The Richard Mille RM 56-02 Sapphire is thought to be the particular timepiece seen on Anant Ambani, the son of Asia’s wealthiest person, Mukesh Ambani.

The all-sapphire masterpiece was unveiled in 2014 with a limited run of just 10 units. Aside from the revolutionary use of sapphire in its construction, another outstanding feature is the unique cable and pulley system that suspends the movement from the sapphire casing. The tonneau-shaped, three-piece sapphire casing required 40 days of precise machining to create and provides unmatched transparency. The sapphire bridges add another 400 hours to the total amount of time it takes to make them. This watch was the first to have the cable and pulley system, which had previously only been seen on the RM 27-01 Nadal watch.

The sapphire case holds the grade 5 titanium baseplate in place using a one-of-a-kind single braided wire that is just 0.35 mm thick. The four pulleys at the corners of the movement and the six pulleys around its perimeter form a web through which this cable is wound. An arrow-shaped indicator is located at 12 o’clock for visual inspection, and a small ratchet is located at 9 o’clock to help with tension adjustment.

Because of its extreme rarity and high demand, the Richard Mille RM 56-02 Sapphire, which was debuted a decade ago with a price tag of over $2 million, is now believed to be worth over $4.6 million. Although it is quite costly, it is not the most costly timepiece that Anant Ambani owns. A $6.5 million Patek Philippe Grand Complication Sky Moon Tourbillon, crafted in 18k gold, was seen on him at the same pre-wedding gathering.

Nevertheless, his most prized possession is the $9 million Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Reference 6300G, widely regarded as Patek’s most intricate timepiece with 20 intricate mechanisms.

A modest discontinued Rolex, priced at $8500, is commonly spotted on Asia’s wealthiest man, Mukesh Ambani, in contrast to Zuckerberg’s lack of interest in watches. Will Anant Ambani’s $2 million Richard Mille pique Zuckerberg’s curiosity in high-end timepieces? What happens next is anybody’s guess.
