Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan were seen at the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar, Gujarat, where they shared images of the lavish affair on social media. They made a significant appearance at the event on March 1, 2024, and viral video showed Priscilla Chan’s admiration for Anant Ambani’s lavish watch.
As seen in the circulated footage, Zuckerberg and Chan were talking to Anant Ambani before heading to Vantara, which is where the wife of the Meta Boss was dangling at Anant’s luxurious watch. “That’s really cool,” Chan exclaimed, and then asked about the watch’ s name, prompting Anant to state that it was “Richard Mille.” Surprisingly, despite Zuckerberg’s apparent lack of interest in watches, seeing Anant Ambani’s watch prompted him to consider buying one.
Online buzz around the video, which quickly surfaced, prompted discussions about Anant Ambani’s watch. It was first reported to be an impressive Audemar’s Piguet Royal Oak Open-worked Skeleton, with a value of over Rs 12 crore. Soon after that, clarifications were made, revealing the timepiece in question to be indeed Richard Mille Skeleton watch priced at Rs 1,18,50,956.59. Anant Ambani’s watch caught the eye of Priscilla Chan, who noted that the attention to detail and sophistication during the Ambush pre-wedding festivities was evident.
The conversation among the guests provided a glimpse into the combination of luxury and reverence for craftsmanship showcased at the event. Following his interaction with Anant Ambani’s watch, Mark Zuckerberg contemplated buying a watch and emulated the allure and prestige of high-profile events where encounters with luxury goods often result in excitement.
Rather than emphasizing the luxury of being in a location, the video’s viral success was actually an opportunity to showcase how technology, money, and social influence can elevate one’s worth at societal levels. The Ambani pre-wedding ceremony was a global sensation, and tales like Priscilla Chan’s admiration for Anant Ambati’s watch made the event even more captivating.
Essentially, the video represented not just an immediate moment of appreciation but also the allure and intrigue that come with indulgence, transcending borders to resonate with global audiences.
