Hardik Pandya’s ₹7 Crore Watch Steals Spotlight in India’s Champions Trophy Win Over Pakistan
Besides the Champions Trophy’s fierce battle between defending champions Pakistan and India fought on the turf of Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday that kept the fans’ heart beat fluctuating across the sub-continent, what else caught the attention of fans was not just Hardik Pandya’s fiery send-off to Babar but also his ultra-luxurious watch worth about seven crore rupees.
Propelled by Virat Kohli’s brilliant knock, the high-intensity clash between India and Pakistan in the fifth match of the Champions Trophy 2025 resulted in Pakistan’s crushing defeat by India and their possible elimination from the tournament.
However show did end with the game, what also went viral all over social media was Pandya’s ultra-luxurious Richard Mille RM 27-02 watch, valued at a staggering $800,000, i.e. INR 6.93 crores, according to Gem Nation, an online luxury watch seller.
Pandya’s wrist accessory stole the spotlight after dismissing Babar Azam. Fans were quick to notice his Richard Mille RM 27-02 CA FQ Tourbillon Rafael Nadal Skeleton Dial, a rare limited-edition timepiece with only 50 pieces ever made. Known for its advanced engineering, the watch boasts a Carbon TPT unibody baseplate, inspired by racing car chassis, enhancing its rigidity and shock resistance.
The cricketer has long been known for his extravagant collection of high-end watches. His collection includes many watches considered elite collector’s pieces in the watch industry
The RM 27-02, in particular, features Grade 5 titanium bridges, a skeletonized movement, and an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The watch’s Quartz TPT case gives it a striking black-and-white look, making it both a fashion statement and a technological marvel.
The RM 27-02 is one of Richard Mille’s most advanced designs, originally created for tennis legend Rafael Nadal. The anti-glare sapphire crystal, innovative carbon and quartz fibre construction, and the ability to withstand extreme shocks make it one of the most durable high-end watches in the world.
While Pandya’s stunning performance on the field helped India gain an upper hand in the match, his million-dollar timepiece became a hot topic off the field. As the game progresses, all eyes will remain on India’s performance—and perhaps, on Pandya’s wrist as well.
