Mark Zuckerberg’s ₹1 Crore Watch: A Nod to Luxury Timepieces

Mark Zuckerberg Spotted Wearing a Stunning ₹1 Crore Patek Philippe Watch After Admiring Anant Ambani’s Impressive Luxury Timepiece

Recently, the Meta CEO and one of the world’s richest people, Mark Zuckerberg, took the town by storm in the luxury watch world when he posted a picture on Instagram flaunting a dazzling Patek Philippe wristwatch worth over ₹1 crore. The image was shared on September 2 and shows Zuckerberg posing with his wife, Priscilla Chan, while the luxurious timepiece adorns his wrist.

In the photo, followers quickly identified the watch as a model from the Swiss luxury brand Patek Philippe, famous for its exquisite craftsmanship and high-end luxury watches. When an Instagram user asked about the specific model of the watch, Zuckerberg confirmed that he was wearing the Patek Philippe Calatrava Perpetual Calendar, reference number 5236P. It’s definitely a model of elegance in design, a marriage of the aesthetic qualities that one associates with the Calatrava line and the sophistication inherent to the perpetual calendar. That makes it an infinitely desirable item for collectors of watches as much as enthusiasts.

While the main website of Patek Philippe does not usually mention anything about the prices for its exclusivity timepiece, various estimates are available. The estimates of the Calatrava Perpetual Calendar include $120,000 to 150,000, which computes to be more than one crore. Depending upon which variant and materials are available, there may be different prices, but undoubtedly it will be priced lavishly.

Notable regarding Zuckerberg’s purchase of the beautiful piece of time is how it parallels with a recollection by him of some time earlier in the year together with the wife when they are seen taking turns admiring a multimillion-dollar piece of machinery – a piece of work belonging to an Indian billionaire in person, Anant Ambani. Zuckerberg’s wife attended some pre-wedding functions for this billionaire alongside Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg publicly announced his newfound love of expensive watches by telling Ambani, “You know, I never really wanted to get a watch. But…might want that,” while he drooled over the wristwatch worn by Reliance scion Ambani, who wore a three-watch set by Richard Mille RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish. It is made of 18-carat rose gold, studded with diamonds.

The watch boasts a stunning design of koi fish in three dimensions, symbolizing good luck and prosperity in the Japanese culture. While it is not known what exactly Ambani paid for this watch, estimates are such that it could easily reach over USD 1 million, which would translate into around ₹8.4 crore. This conversation between two of the wealthiest people in the world reflects not only their joint taste for luxury but also how celebrity personalities can command the attention of luxury products.

As Zuckerberg enters the high watch market, it marks an even larger picture of things in which influential leaders have a general say as to what is fashionable or desirable in lifestyle, thus forcing a change in consumer preference and trend. The presence of these luxury watches thus serves as a reminder of the luxury appeal associated with brands like Patek Philippe and Richard Mille and their limited access, thus capturing the audience’s imagination.

Since the majority of status symbols make more noise, perhaps in selecting a Patek Philippe after being impressed by the one owned by Ambani-the Richard Mille-it speaks better for the significance of luxury in modern society. While this confluence of the digital and old-fashioned perceptions of prosperity and style, these timepieces are more than something you wear-they speak of artistry, prestige, and personal identity. These are what rich individuals throughout the world appreciate and would like to possess.
