In a recent Instagram post, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, delighted fans with a heartwarming selfie. The photo, however, drew significant attention not just for its affectionate display, but also for Zuckerberg’s choice of wristwear—a luxurious Patek Philippe watch.
The watch in question is the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar with a unique in-line display. Priced at approximately $141,400 (around ₹1.18 crore), this platinum timepiece features a distinctive design where the day, date, and month are presented together in a single large window at the 12 o’clock position. This innovative display is powered by Patek Philippe’s new self-winding movement (model 31-260 PS QL), which has been granted three patents. The watch’s platinum case and blue dial, with a smooth satin finish and a black gradient around the edges, add to its striking elegance.

From Admiration to Acquisition
Zuckerberg’s appreciation for high-end watches seems to have evolved recently. At a pre-wedding event for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, Zuckerberg had previously admired a Richard Mille watch worn by Ambani. This encounter sparked a newfound interest in luxury timepieces for Zuckerberg. “You know, I never really wanted to get a watch. But after seeing that, I was like, watches are cool,” Zuckerberg admitted. His wife, Priscilla Chan, echoed his sentiments, expressing her own enthusiasm for fine watches.
The purchase of the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar marks a notable shift in Zuckerberg’s attitude towards watches, reflecting a growing appreciation for their craftsmanship and innovation.
