Messi receives a grand welcome from Anant Ambani
Mumbai: World-renowned football player Lionel Messi arrived at Anant Ambani's Vantara Wildlife Rescue Center in Jamnagar on Tuesday. During his visit, Messi participated in the Maha Aarti with Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. He received a grand and warm welcome.
On this occasion, Anant Ambani gifted Messi a Richard Mille RM 003-V2 GMT Tourbillon Asia Edition watch. This watch is worth approximately ₹10.91 crore. This is not just an ordinary luxury item; it is considered a collector's masterpiece. It is owned by only a few royal families, billionaires, and some famous personalities worldwide.
The biggest factor that makes this watch special is its rarity. Richard Mille has produced only 12 units of this Asia Edition worldwide. Once these watches are sold, they do not come back on the market. This is why their value increases over time, making them not only a luxury item but also a long-term investment.
The watch's 38 mm case is made from Carbon Thin Ply Technology. This material was developed for aerospace engineering and Formula One racing. It is lightweight, scratch-resistant, and durable.

At the heart of the watch is the tourbillon mechanism, one of the most complex techniques in watchmaking. It is designed to counteract the effects of gravity to maintain time accuracy.
This watch also features a GMT dual time zone function. This means the wearer can track two time zones simultaneously.
The watch has a fully skeletonized dial, meaning its inner mechanics are visible. In addition, it includes features such as a power reserve indicator, torque indicator, and a titanium base plate. This watch not only tells the time but is also exceptional in both its technical and aesthetic aspects.
