Anant Ambani is known for his luxury lifestyle, one that is as considered as it is conspicuous. From couture to collector cars, every detail speaks of a world where excess meets discernment—and nowhere is this more evident than on his wrist. Here are some of the finest and most expensive Richard Mille watches owned by him, each of them a horological innovation, a reminder that in Ambani’s world, time is not just kept, it is curated.
Richard Mille's most expressive watch is the RM 47 Samurai, which feels more like a sculpture than a piece of technology. It was created over several years and features a handcrafted samurai armour theme inside a remarkably small tourbillon. Drawing from Japanese ancestry and symbolism, the craftsmanship is painstaking. Made in a small batch of only 75 pieces, it's not just uncommon but also incredibly intimate, a fusion of engineering, art, and culture.
This watch, the result of a collaboration with Pharrell Williams, is both technical and philosophical. The design subtly refocuses attention on the wearer while looking outward, toward space. It literally flips the concept of observation by playing with perspective. Despite its cosmic origin, the watch—of which there are only 30 in existence—feels intimate, fusing narrative with a unique, almost whimsical sense of design.
Here, transparency becomes the main topic of discussion. The watch, which is made almost entirely of sapphire, displays everything without holding anything back, including its movement, construction, and sophistication. When it first appeared, it was a major advancement in watchmaking, pushing the limits of what materials could accomplish. The outcome is something subtly futuristic: incredibly clear, delicate, and precise.
This piece has a distinct charm that makes it stand out. A little, expertly crafted panda rests in the middle, encircled by a black onyx background. Yes, it's amusing, but it's also meaningful, standing for protection, serenity, and rarity. The collection is limited to just 15 watches.
This watch is where technical proficiency and visual impact collide. The movement inside is completely visible, yet the green sapphire casing captures and bends light in an almost surreal way. Constructed from titanium and sapphire, it is made to last without sacrificing style. Only 5 pieces have ever been produced, placing it at the very end of exclusivity.
