Canadian pop star Justin Bieber recently made a quick stop in Mumbai, India, to perform at yet another star-studded pre-wedding ceremony organized for billionaire scion Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. While Bieber left for Miami shortly after enthralling the guests at the grand function, the artist flooded his Instagram with candid pictures clicked with the soon-to-be-married couple along with their friends and family. In several of those behind-the-scenes photos, we noticed a very interesting watch on the wrist of Anant Ambani.
The 29-year-old is known for his incredible watch collection, which includes some of the rarest and most expensive timepieces. Not only does he own several different ultra-exclusive Richard Mille watches, but Anant also has at least two versions of Patek Phillipe’s most complicated watch ever made. His Audemars Piguet watch, spotted in the pictures shared by Bieber, might not be as exclusive or expensive, but it’s still very impressive.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph Full Diamond is a highly opulent version of the legendary watch, which is completely covered in 1330 brilliant-cut diamonds amounting to 11.74 carats. The extravagant timepiece is crafted out of 18k white gold and is fitted with an interchangeable bracelet, also entirely set with diamonds. The dazzling gems are contrasted with black accents, including the subdials and the tachymeter scale.
The 43mm case is paved with 162 diamonds, while the octagonal bezel features 32 diamonds. The dial, bracelet, and buckle add another 189, 907, and 40 sparkly diamonds to the watch. The watch is powered by the self-winding Caliber 4401 with a flyback chronograph. Made of 381 components, the movement offers a power reserve of 70 hours. While the price of the diamond-studded watch is available only upon request, it can purchased from the pre-owned market for around $300,000.
In case you don’t know yet, Anant Ambani is the youngest son of Indian business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, whose net worth is estimated by Forbes at around $120 billion, making him the richest person in Asia. Justin Bieber was welcomed to the financial capital of India in style as the Ambanies sent a massive convoy of cars to pick him up from the airport’s private jet terminal.
According to several news reports, the pop sensation charged a whopping $10 million to perform at the pre-wedding function. Bieber himself is a watch aficionado with a sizable watch collection mostly made of Rolex timepieces. While he is often seen wearing his ‘President’ Rolex Day-Date, his $300,000 Patek Philippe Nautilus is the most expensive timepiece in the watch collection.
Note – As of writing this article, according to Forbes, Mukesh Ambani is the 11th richest person in the world, with a net worth of $124 billion.
