Anant Ambani Most Expensive Watch

Anant Ambani Most Expensive Watch

The $40 million estimate come from luxury-media reports. Neither Anant Ambani nor Patek Philippe has confirmed the purchase price or the watch’s current value.

Why is Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175R so valuable

The value of Grandmaster Chime 5175R comes from its rarity, mechanical complexity, hand-finished case, and limited availability.

Patek Only Produced Seven Watches

Patek Philippe produced seven watches of the reference 5175. One remains in the company’s museum, leaving only six in private collections. The company did not offer the watch as a normal retail model, which makes it difficult to buy at any price.

It Features 20 Complications

The Grandmaster Chime has 20 complications, making it one of the most mechanically advanced wristwatches by Patek Phillipe. Its functions include:

• Grande Sonnerie
• Petite Sonnerie
• Minute repeater
• Alarm that strikes the selected time
• Date repeater that sounds the date
• Instantaneous perpetual calendar
• Second time zone
• Day and night indicator
• Moon-phase display
• Four-digit year display
• Movement and chiming power-reserve indicators

Its Movement Contains 1,366 Parts

The manually wound movement contains 1,366 parts and 108 jewels. The case adds another 214 pieces, bringing the total to 1,580 components. Many mechanical watches have fewer than 200 parts. Fitting more than 1,300 movement components into a wearable case requires specialized design, assembly, and testing.

Grand Chime 5175R-001 has Two Functional Dials

The reference 5175R-001 uses a reversible case with a dial on each side. The wearer can rotate the case to display either face. One side focuses on the time and chiming functions. The second presents detailed calendar information. Separating these displays makes the watch easier to read despite its large number of functions.

The Rose-Gold Case is Finished by Hand

The 47.4mm case is made from 18-karat rose-gold and covered with hand-engraved laurel leaves. The engraving gives the watch a beautiful decorative appearance, which makes it very different from later Grandmaster Chime references. Therefore, its value comes from both mechanical watchmaking and traditional decorative design, not only from the amount of gold used.

Never Confuse 5175R-001 with 6300A-010

The reference 5175R associated with Anant Ambani should be confused with Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime reference 6300A-010. The reference 6300A-010 was a unique stainless steel watch created for the 2019 Only Watch charity auction. It sold through Christie’s in Geneva for CHF 31 million.

The steel reference 6300A-010 holds the Guinness World Record for the most expensive wristwatch sold at auction. That record does not confirm the value or ownership of Anant Ambani’s reference 5175R-001.

Does Anant Ambani Own the $9 Million Patek Philippe 6300G?

Anant Ambani has also been publicly linked to another Grandmaster Chime, the reference 6300G-010, in white gold with blue dials. Media reports have estimated this watch’s value at around $9 million. Unlike the anniversary reference 5175R, the 6300G was part of Patek Philippe’s regular collection, although production remained limited. It uses a related 20-complication movement and a reversible two-dial case.

Sylvester Stallone owned a reference 6300G-010, which was sold at Sotheby’s for $5.4 million. Some people think that Anant bought the watch, but this is not true. The buyer at that auction was an anonymous collector, not Ambani. The rumor started because both high-profile figures became famous in the media at around the same time for owning the exact same, ultra-rare white gold model.

Other Expensive Watches in Anant Ambani Collection

Anant Ambani has been seen wearing rare watches from Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Audemars Piguet, and Jacob & Co.

Richard Mille RM 52-04 Skull Blue Sapphire

The RM 52-04 combines a transparent blue sapphire case with a skull-shaped tourbillon design. The skull is not just decorative. It acts as the movement’s actual baseplate and bridges. Only three watches were produced by the company. Media reports have estimated its value at around 22 crore Indian rupees.

Richard Mille RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish

This customized Richard Mille reportedly feature three-dimensional (3D) koi fish, diamonds, rose gold, and an open-worked movement. The defining feature is the detailed 3D koi fish that appear to swim through the open-worked movement. Each fish is individually hand-painted and sculpted from gold.

The watch combines a luxurious rose gold case with brilliant-cut diamonds pave-set across the bezel and case sides. The transparent, open-worked design creates a visual illusion of an aquarium, making the technical tourbillon movement double as the fish’s natural habitat. Its estimated value has been reported at approximately $1.25 million.

Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon

The Sky Moon Tourbillon is another double-faced Patek Philippe grand complication. Its functions include astronomical displays, a perpetual calendar, and a minute repeater. The watch features two unique dials. The font face focuses on civil time and calendar indications, while the reverse side is dedicated to a breathtaking astronomical display.

The reverse dial depicts the northern hemisphere’s night sky, tracking the motion of the stars, the phases and orbit of the moon, and meridian transits. Besides, the watch integrates elite complications, including a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date hand, and a cathedral going minute repeater that chimes the time.

Patek Phillipe Nautilus Models

These ultra-rare, gem-set watches are famous as “off-catalog” Patek Philippe models. These are completely hidden from the brand’s public marketing materials and are reserved for the manufacturer’s most elite, high-profile collectors.

• The Nautilus Travel Time Ruby (Reference 5990/1422G): It is hand-set with 182 baguette-cut rubies of over 17 carats and 406 baguette-cut diamonds of around 33 carats across its 18k white gold case and bracelet. It frames a gradient black dial with 10 ruby markers.
• The Nautilus Travel Time Emerald (Reference 5990/1422G): The watch features rubies and vibrant baguette-cut emeralds set along the bezel, central bracelet links, and hour plots.
• The Nautilus Green Emerald (Reference 5711/1400G): This one is a hyper-exclusive iteration of the classically understated time-and-date Nautilus, heavily augmented with factory-set emeralds.

Jacob & Co. Opera Vantara

The Jacob & Co. Opera Vantara Green Camo is a beautiful and 1-of-1 mechanical masterpiece designed as a tribute to Anant Ambani’s Vantara wildlife rescue and conservation initiative in Gujarat, India. It turns complex watchmaking into a literal 3D theater on the wrist. It features a hand-painted miniature figurine of Anant Ambani. He is flanked by lifelike, sculpted figures of a Bengal tiger and a lion, while the watch hands emerge from an elephant’s trunk.

The beautiful green camouflage mosaic across the dial and case is achieved through high-end gemistry. It features 397 precious stones, combining electric green demantoid garnets, deep-rich tsavorites, green sapphires, and white diamonds. The central dial assembly rotates, which mimics a mini-ecosystem or theatrical stage in motion thanks to Jacob & Co.’s Opera movement. Its market value is estimated at around $1.5 million or 13.7 crore rupees.
