Known for his impeccable taste and passion for rare timepieces, Ambani’s collection includes some of the world’s most exclusive and coveted watches, featuring brands like Richard Mille, Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Audemars Piguet. His assortment is admired not only for its exclusivity but also for its technical innovation, craftsmanship, and bespoke customisations.
The collection features standout models such as the Richard Mille RM 56-01 Tourbillon with a striking green sapphire case—a rare and visually captivating piece known for its manual-winding tourbillon movement and futuristic design. Ambani also owns several limited-edition timepieces, including the RM 56-02 with a skeletonised dial and titanium baseplate, highlighted for both precision and durability. His collection showcases a blend of timeless design and cutting-edge horological technology.
Anant’s prominence in India’s luxury watch scene has redefined aspirations in this market, inspiring younger buyers to value craftsmanship and legacy over mere status symbols. Experts within the luxury industry regard his collection as a symbol of refined success and leadership, while his personal style embodies a blend of innovation and meticulous detail.
At the global level, Indian celebrities are gaining prominence in luxury watch collecting, highlighted by Shah Rukh Khan’s Met Gala 2025 debut wearing a Patek Philippe Grand Complications watch valued at around Rs 21 crore, making him a noteworthy figure in celebrity watch culture. Fully sapphire-studded Patek Philippe minute repeater owned by Salman Khan and remarkable pieces possessed by other Bollywood stars falls short of Anant’s collection in India.
The ascendance of Anant Ambani’s collection illustrates the growing influence and sophistication of Indian collectors on the international luxury watch stage, combining heritage, exclusivity, and personal expression into a singular horological legacy.
