Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani, who spearheads the energy sector of the Reliance conglomerate, has expensive tastes like his family. With a deep interest in rare watches, Anant Ambani was seen wearing one of the rarest and most expensive watches in the world.
The most expensive watch owned by Anant Ambani is the rarest watch created by Patek Philippe. The ultra-luxurious watch work by Anant Ambani is the Grandmaster Chime by Patek Philippe, which is a family-run Swiss luxury watch company.
Anant Ambani was seen wearing the Grandmaster Chime by Patek Philippe at the opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, posing alongside his soon-to-be bride Radhika Merchant. The youngest Ambani paired the watch with a classic black bandhgala and dapper pants.
The Grandmaster Chime is considered to be the most expensive watch ever sold in retail, and is the most complex watch created by Patek Philippe, one of the favorite watch companies of Anant Ambani.
The Patek Philippe watch reportedly took over 1 lakh hours to make and assemble, and is constructed out of white gold. The watch worn by Anant Ambani is made with pristine white gold, is reversible, has alligator leather straps as well as scales.
The watch is of shiny navy blue colour, and has a dial on both sides. The entire watch has been made by hands, with the straps being hand stitched as well. According to watch experts, the complete market value of this rare Patek Philippe watch is USD 8 million, which is Rs 66.5 crore.
Further, Mukesh Ambani’s son purchased the Grandmaster Chime by Patek Philippe at the price of USD 2.2 million, which makes the retail price of the watch Rs 18 crore, being the most expensive addition to the luxurious and pricey watch collection of the youngest Ambani sibling.
