Mark Zuckerberg Flaunts Rs 1.18 Crore Patek Philippe In Selfie With Wife

There is the premium market wherein six-figure price tags are only a qualifying criterion. Their clientele includes royalty and oligarchs, as well as Silicon Valley’s business giants and CEOs. The benefits are unparalleled for those allowed entry: access to the finest materials, workmanship, and design — all of which have been raised to the status of art.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided a sneak peek of the same. He posted a selfie with his wife, Priscilla Chan. While the photo depicts the two in happy spirits, Zuckerberg’s watch piqued the internet’s interest.

Hindustan Times reports that he was spotted sporting an extravagant $141,400 (about Rs 1.18 crore) Platinum Patek Philippe in-line perpetual calendar with a blue dial.

This watch boasts an innovative perpetual calendar with an exclusive in-line display, according to Patek Philippe’s official website. This indicates that a single, sizable pane at the top displays the day, date, and month simultaneously.

To make this display unique, the designers developed a novel self-winding movement (31-260 PS QL) featuring an extra in-line display module.

The watch is set inside a chic platinum casing that features a blue dial with a black gradient along the borders and a smooth, satin finish.

An Instagram feed that uncovers celebrity watches published Zuck’s picture with a particular comment asking, “Patek Philippe, which reference?” To which he responded, “5236P”.

Earlier, Zuck and Priscilla traveled to India for the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. He was seen swooning over Ambani’s opulent Richard Mille watch at the time.

They got a look at Ambani’s ostensibly pricey watch in the video posted on X (previously Twitter).

After Priscilla exclaimed, “This watch is fantastic,” Zuckerberg said, “I know, I told him already.”

“That’s really cool,” Priscilla added.

Then Zuckerberg said that even though he had never been a big watch enthusiast, Ambani’s watch could have made him reconsider.

“You know, I never really wanted to get a watch, but after seeing that, I was like, ‘Watches are cool,'” Zuckerberg added.

Ambani verified to Priscilla that the timepiece was a Richard Mille.

Ambani did not name the model, but according to the Daily Mail, it is the RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish, which has diamonds placed in a bezel and is crafted from 18K rose gold.

According to The New York Post, the watch was thought to be worth $1 million (more than Rs 8.3 crore).
