A video going viral online sees the actor trying on a diamond-studded watch reportedly worth a jaw-dropping $20 million, which roughly amounts to Rs 167 crore. The clip was posted online by renowned jeweller Jacob Arabo, who expressed his admiration for Salman.
Arabo, the founder of a luxury watch and jewellery brand, took to social media to share a clip of himself placing the extravagant timepiece on Salman’s wrist.In the post, he wrote, “I never let anyone try on my Billionaire, but for @beingsalmankhan I made an exception.”
The watch in question is part of the exclusive ‘Billionaire’ collection, which is known for its opulence and record-breaking pricetag.
The watch, as described on its official website, is adorned with over 600 emerald-cut diamonds and boasts over 120-carat brilliance. The timepiece is crafted in limited numbers, with only a few of these pieces ever made.
The website describes the watch as one that “shattered all records,” thanks to its one-of-a-kind design, number of diamonds, setting the bar incredibly high for luxury watch collectors.
In the video, Salman is seen admiring the intricate details of the watch, unable to take his eyes off the dazzling piece. He proudly even posed with the watch for pictures. The video appears to be from the recent Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant wedding, where the watch-maker was one of the many guests at the celebrations. However, it is still unclear if Salman is now the owner of this dazzling piece or simply tried it on. If he does own the piece, then he is among the few stars like Christiano Ronaldo, Jay Z, David Beckham, and others who own timepieces from the brand.
