Anant's watch is crafted from pristine white gold and features a reversible design, complete with alligator leather straps and scales. The timepiece boasts a shiny navy blue colour with a dial on both sides. Every detail, including the hand-stitched straps, was meticulously crafted by hand.

Its reversible case, adorned with a hand-guilloché hobnail pattern, includes a patented reversing mechanism. Boasting 20 complications, the watch offers five chiming modes, including two patented world firsts—an acoustic alarm that strikes a preselected time and a date repeater that chimes the date on demand. Powered by a manually wound mechanical movement, this masterpiece exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship.

The rare watch has an eye-watering market value of USD 8 million ( ₹66.5 crore), with a retail price of USD 2.2 million ( ₹18 crore), making it the most expensive addition to the luxurious watch collection of the youngest Ambani sibling.
