The fascination Ambani has with timepieces has recently captured media attention, following the circulation of a video on social media, which features Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his spouse Priscilla Chan complimenting the heir to the billionaire on his Richard Mille RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish watch.
Custom-made for Ambani, this exquisite watch is crafted from 18k rose gold and is adorned with diamonds on its face and sides, showcasing a captivating scene of koi fish in motion. Its value is estimated at US$1.25 million.
In addition to this, Ambani’s collection includes a Patek Philippe ref 5990/1422G-001, encrusted with emeralds, which he sported at an event in March 2023 alongside his future spouse Radhika Merchant (R).
Reserved exclusively for the brand’s “ultra VIP” clients, this timepiece commands a price of US$1.5 million.
This particular model was quietly launched by the Swiss manufacturer in 2021, together with two other variants adorned with rubies and blue sapphires. Its bezel, strap, and hour markers are all elegantly set with emeralds.
Another standout in Ambani’s collection is the Patek Philippe GrandMaster Chime 6300G-010, crafted in white gold.
Patek Philippe hails it as the most complex wrist watch it has ever produced, with a global limit of just seven pieces. This watch features a mechanical system consisting of 1,366 components, supporting 20 different functions, such as a perpetual calendar, lunar calendar, second time zone, day-night indicator, and a minute repeater.
Ambani (R) was seen wearing this masterpiece at a Mumbai event in April 2023, accompanied by Merchant. A watch blogger considers this the priciest item in Ambani’s collection, with an estimated worth of US$9 million.
Furthermore, the billionaire’s heir is the owner of a Richard Mille RM 056 Tourbillon Split Seconds Chronograph, a unique piece entirely made of sapphire, complemented by a rubber strap.
Valued at over US$1.7 million, only five editions of this model have been sold. The development of its sapphire structure took years of research to ensure it is comfortable for wearers.
Another highlight of Ambani’s collection is the RM27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, a collaborative effort between Richard Mille and the renowned Spanish tennis player.
Introduced in 2015, this watch is distinguished by its lightweight Carbon TPT material construction. It is also remarkably light, weighing just 21 grams, and is highly resistant to shocks, capable of withstanding high-speed impacts.
This model is priced at approximately US$1.3 million.
Ambani has also been spotted with an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon 26580IO, featuring a 44 mm titanium case.
This openwork watch, capable of tracking two time zones, is ideal for someone who travels frequently. It is valued at around US$200,000.
At 28, Anant Ambani is the youngest child of Mukesh Ambani, who helms the global conglomerate Reliance Industries with an annual revenue of US$110 billion.
As of March 11, Forbes ranks Mukesh Ambani’s net worth at US$116.2 billion, positioning him as the wealthiest person in Asia and the ninth wealthiest globally.
Anant Ambani’s fiancée, 29-year-old Radhika Merchant, is the daughter of Shri Viren Merchant, CEO of the eminent Indian healthcare company Encore Healthcare.
The couple, both alumni of U.S. educational institutions, held a pre-wedding festivity from MArch 1-3 and are preparing for their wedding ceremony in July.
