In an intriguing turn of events during the 'Walk on the Wildside' soiree, part of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding festivities in Jamnagar, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan were notably taken by Anant Ambani's wristwatch.
The occasion, themed 'Jungle Fever', saw guests donning attire befitting the trail at the outdoor Vantara animal rescue centre, with Anant Ambani himself mingling and facilitating the trail arrangements according to guests' preferences.
In a casual exchange among Anant, his brother Akash, Mark, and Priscilla, the latter's attention was drawn to Anant's wristwatch, prompting exclamations of admiration. "That watch is fantastic," Priscilla observed, insisting, "That is so cool." Zuckerberg, chiming in, shared, "yeah, I told him that already."
The conversation took a notable turn when Zuckerberg confessed his newfound appreciation for watches, inspired by Anant's piece, saying, "You know, I never really wanted to get a watch. But, after seeing that, I was like, watches are cool." Priscilla, with a touch of humour, responded, "I wonder."
Upon enquiry, Anant revealed he was wearing a Richard Mille RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish model, a striking rose gold piece with a factory diamond bezel and a hand-painted dial, valued at over $1 million. This exceptional timepiece, perfectly complementing his 'Jungle Fever' attire, highlights Anant Ambani's renowned watch collection, which includes some of the world's most sought-after and complex timepieces.
Among the notable pieces in Ambani's collection are the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990/1422G, priced at $1.5 million; the extremely rare Patek Philippe Grand Master Chime 6300G-010, limited to just seven pieces globally and previously sold for $9 million; the Richard Mille RM 056 Tourbillon Split Seconds Chronograph, valued over $1.7 million; and the RM27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, with a price tag of around $1.3 million.
Anant Ambani's exquisite taste in watches not only captivates the eyes of watch aficionados but also, as seen at the pre-wedding event, can sway the perspectives of global tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg.
