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.

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.

Limited to 50 pieces.
Retail price: $775,000.
Market price: ~$1,300,000.
