"This watch is fantastic."
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan were left in awe by Anant Ambani’s extravagant watch, believed to be worth $1 million.
The Meta CEO and his philanthropist wife were in India for Anant and Radhika’s pre-wedding event in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
The lavish three-day event saw over 1,000 high-profile guests and is estimated to have cost $152 million.
Although the festivities have now ended, new moments from the event continue to circulate.
A new video shows Mark and Priscilla speaking to Anant and raving over his Richard Mille watch.
As Priscilla leans in to get a better look at Anant’s timepiece, she tells him:
“This watch is fantastic.”
Mark chimed in: “I know, I told him that already.”
His wife added: “That is so cool.”
Mark Zuckerberg then explained that although he has never been much of a watch enthusiast, Anant’s timepiece may have changed his mind.
He said: “You know, I never really wanted to get a watch, but after seeing that, I was like, ‘Watches are cool’.”
Priscilla then joked that she “might want that”.
Anant Ambani also confirmed to the couple that the watch was a Richard Mille.
Anant did not specify the model but it is reported to be the RMS-10 Tourbillon Koi Fish, which features 18K rose gold and bezel set diamonds.
The watch is estimated to be worth $1 million, a fraction of the $116 billion his father Mukesh Ambani is estimated to be worth.
The Richard Mille is one of several models by the luxury watchmaker that Anant owns.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan loved their experience at the celebrations and in an Instagram caption, he said:
“It’s getting wild out here.”
Another caption read:
“Love an Indian wedding. Congrats to Anant and Radhika.”
Other high-profile guests included Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton.
The event reportedly cost $152 million, with the catering contract alone being around $25 million.
Guests were housed in specially arranged five-star facilities just outside Jamnagar.
Hundreds of staff were on hand to look after them with a series of penthouses and villas renovated for the occasion.
More than 100 chefs were also flown in to cater for them and prepared 500 dishes over the three days, ranging from traditional Indian food to Mexican, Chinese and European.
The figure is expected to increase even more when Anant and Radhika get married in July 2024 as the Ambanis spare no expenses when it comes to weddings.
