The Insane Watch Collection of Anant Ambani

Welcome, watch enthusiasts and curious minds alike! In this blog post, I will be writing about a timepiece treasure trove that belongs to none other than Anant Ambani. If that last name rings a bell, it's because Anant is the son of the Ambani dynasty – his father, Mukesh Ambani, is a billionaire famously known as the richest man in Asia, boasting a net income that most of us can only dream of. The Ambanis are not just a family; they're a powerhouse, setting the benchmark for luxury living.

Anant may be young (28 years old at the time of this blog publication), but his role in the family business is far from small. As a key figure in Reliance Industries, his endeavors are as diverse as they are ambitious, mirroring the stature of his last name. Yet, amidst board meetings and strategic planning, Anant has nurtured a passion that gleams as bright as the polished facade of Reliance's headquarters: a mind-blowing watch collection.

But calling it just a "collection" feels like an understatement. Anant Ambani's assemblage of timepieces is nothing short of insane just like other Indian celebrities and athletes such as Shah Rukh Khan, Virat Kohli, and Hardik Pandya. From the rarities that command the attention of a room to the custom pieces that reflect his personal flair, each watch in his possession isn't merely a device to tell time; it's a story, a masterpiece, and a slice of horological heaven. 

Let's find out the insane watch collection of Anant Ambani.

During his pre-wedding party, the youngest son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Anant Ambani, was spotted wearing the $5.3 Mil. Rose Gold Hand Engraved Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002R-001, featuring 12 complications as well as having two ‘faces.’ One dial is brown Grand Feu Enamel, and the reverse side shows a celestial chart.

His wedding in the beginning of March became a trending topic. His super rich family invited so many A-list celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr., Rihanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and even Mark Zuckerberg. In the following video, we can even see the CEO of Facebook admiring Anant's Richard Mille.

Another stunning watch he wears during his pre-wedding festivities, Anant Ambani was seen wearing a possibly unique Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time 5990/1422G 'Ruby' in 18k white gold, one of the most expensive Nautilus models ever produced. 

The watch is entirely adorned with large baguette-cut diamonds and baguette-cut rubies, while the black/grey dial showcases an additional 10 baguette-cut rubies as hour markers.

Retail price: $1,320,000.

I remember, when I posted this as a reel on Instagram @ifuckinglovewatches, it went super viral that inspired me to curate this blog post.

In the picture, he wears an extremely rare Patek Philippe ref 5990/1422G-001.

This piece of art was released by the brand secretly in 2021 with two other versions 'rubies and blue sapphires' it features a 40.5mm case with gradient grey dial. The bezel and middle links has been set with the finest emerald baguettes. The dial also features emerald hour markers.

This timepiece is strictly available for the VVIP customers of the brand and has a retail price of $1,500,000.

Another insane Patek Philippe watch that Anant Ambani has is the white gold Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 6300G-010.

This watch is known as one of the most complicated wristwatches ever created, and is limited to only 7 pieces worldwide. It boasts 20 impressive complications, including five chiming modes. Two of these modes are patented world firsts, including an acoustic alarm that strikes the preselected time and a date repeater that sounds the date on demand.

It was sold for $9 Million! So, this is by far the most expensive watch we can find in the watch collection of Anant Ambani.

Another reference of this watch, the 6300A-01 was sold at an auction in November 2019 for $31.2 Million. Since then, it becomes the most expensive watch ever sold at an auction.

Anant Ambani in the picture is wearing a piece unique Richard Mille RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish in rose gold with factory diamond bezel. Its dial has been completely hand-painted. 

It is a piece unique, so it is not for sold. But I believe the value of this watch must be at least $1,000,000.

This Richard Mille timepiece is one of the most exquisite offerings from the watchmaker, boasting a design that justifies its million-dollar price tag. The RM 056 model is crafted entirely from sapphire, featuring a sapphire case paired with a rubber strap. 

It showcases a stunning skeleton dial that includes a tourbillon, sapphire markers, and luminescent hands, along with split-second chronograph functionality. Powered by an automatic movement, this watch is valued at over $1.7 Million.

Another amazing timepiece in the watch collection of Anant Ambani is the Richard Mille RM27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, made in collaboration with the tennis player Rafael Nadal.

Introduced in 2015, the RM 27-02 timepiece marks a new chapter in the art and methodology of contemporary horology. The creative minds at Richard Mille have employed Carbon TPT® in a pioneering manner to construct the brand's inaugural 'unibody' baseplate that is skeletonized.

This innovative construction integrates the caseband and baseplate into a single piece, foregoing the need to fuse separate elements. Drawing inspiration from the engineering of race car chassis, this unified structure enhances the watch's durability and shock resistance.

Limited to 50 pieces.

Retail price: $775,000.

Market price: ~$1,300,000.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon GMT 26580IO stands out with its 44mm titanium case and a skeletonized dial that offers a glimpse into the watch's complex mechanics. A hand-wound movement propels the watch, visible through the transparent crystal caseback.

The tourbillon complication is designed to negate gravity's influence on the movement, enhancing the precision of the timepiece. Additionally, the GMT function provides the convenience of monitoring a second time zone, an essential feature for avid travelers.

Market price (Nov 2023): ~$200,000.
