The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime is one of the most impressive and complicated watches ever made. Anant Ambani, a big fan of the brand, owns not one but two of these remarkable timepieces. The Grandmaster Chime stands out as Patek Philippe’s most intricate creation, featuring 20 different functions and five chiming modes. It’s limited to just seven pieces worldwide, representing the classy lifestyle of billionaires.
Minute repeaters, known for their complexity, are among the hardest watch movements to manufacture. This particular watch even has a repeater that can chime a preselected time and date. Due to its rarity, a version of the Grandmaster Chime was recently sold at auction for an astonishing $31 million.
Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon
Another jewel in Anant Ambani’s expensive watches collection – The Sky Moon Tourbillon, considered Patek Philippe’s second most complicated watch. It boasts twelve impressive features, including a perpetual calendar, a repeater that chimes on cathedral gongs, a sidereal time display (showing the time it takes for a star to return to the same spot in the sky), and a moon phase indicator. This watch is a prime example of Swiss craftsmanship, even including a display showing where you are in the leap year cycle. With an estimated price of Rs 54 crore, it’s truly a remarkable piece.
Richard Mille RM 56-01 Tourbillon Green Sapphire
The Richard Mille RM 56-01 catches the eye with its pure sapphire case, which not only looks striking but also ensures durability. Its manual winding tourbillon movement includes a power reserve indicator and torque indicator, showcasing Richard Mille’s skillful craftsmanship.
The skeletonized design exposes the intricate mechanics, complemented by a split-second chronograph for precise timing—a true blend of advanced technology and refined sports luxury.

With an estimated price of Rs 25 crore, it’s definitely one of the more extraordinary timepieces out there.
Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time
Patek Philippe is known for using only the finest gemstones, and the rubies and diamonds in the Nautilus are no exception. These gems are meticulously chosen for their color, clarity, and cut, creating a dazzling appearance. Although it’s not as complicated as other Patek Philippe watches, the Nautilus Diamond and Ruby is incredibly extravagant. Made of ruby and diamond-laden white gold, this 40.5mm watch is a true statement piece. Anant Ambani owns two versions—one with red rubies and another with green emeralds. With an estimated price of Rs 8.2 crore, Patek Philippe Nautilus travel time worth the ultimate travel watch.
