It’s no secret that Nita Ambani is a wealthy woman. As the wife of India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and chairperson of Reliance Foundation, the family matriarch enjoys all the luxuries that life can offer.

From living in a US$2 billion home (Antilia, one of the world’s tallest, largest private residences) to gifting a US$55 million diamond necklace to her daughter-in-law Shloka Mehta, and splurging US$50,000 on a tailor-made lipstick collection, it’s clear that Nita has no limit when it comes to splashing cash around.

While her list of designer possessions might seemingly be endless, one that recently caught our attention was a Patek Philippe Aquanaut. Nita, the owner of the Indian Premier League’s Mumbai Indians, donned it during one of the team’s matches. It’s a stark comparison to the US$8,000 Rolex her hubby wears. But that’s the kind of stylish taste we’ve come to expect from the 59-year-old fashionista.

Here’s a look at some of Nita Ambani’s best style moments so far.

Billionaires often boast the best baubles in the business, but Nita takes things even further. Recently spotted sporting the ultra-exclusive Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Haute Joaillerie watch during a cricket match, she indeed hit the ball out of the stadium – pun intended.

The ace businesswoman can clearly show us all how to make a style statement even while wearing a sports jersey. The rose-gold haute joaillerie version of the Aquanaut Luce employs complex jewel-setting techniques, such as invisible and snow setting, to gorgeous effect. It’s priced at US$225,000 on Patek Philippe’s website.

The dial, case, lugs and clasp are encrusted with diamonds in 25 different sizes and shapes. From brilliant cut, to baguette and trapeze, the diamonds come together to form a poetic geometric design. A true masterpiece, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Haute Joaillerie also includes hands set with baguette diamonds – a technical feat that the 184-year-old Swiss watch company expertly pulls off.

Asia’s most affluent family also opened the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) this year in Mumbai. The grand opening was a three-day extravaganza featuring the crème de la crème of Indian business, fashion and film, as well as Hollywood A-listers.

The architectural marvel designed by Richard Gluckman includes three performing arts spaces: the majestic 2,000-seat Grand Theatre, the technologically advanced 250-seat Studio Theatre, and the dynamic 125-seat Cube. Akin to Nita’s glittering appearance, the ceiling of the Grand Theatre glistens with 8,400 Swarovski crystals embedded in it.

Her personal fashion is unmatched

With a net worth of $89 billion, per Forbes, Nita’s husband Mukesh features among the world’s top 10 billionaires. It is hardly surprising then she opts to carry a US$350,000 Hermès Himalaya Birkin bag to go shopping. Nita’s opulent Hermès Birkin bag is embellished with over 240 dazzling diamonds and sports 18k gold hardware, making it among the most expensive bags in the world.

Nita’s sense of style extends from her jewellery and wardrobe to her lavish home. According to Yahoo!, she once bought 25,000 pieces of crockery from Noritake and loaded it all on her private jet. She reportedly loves the century-old Japanese brand and bought the pieces of unmatched 22-carat gold-trimmed porcelain in one go. An Economic Times report stated that a single Noritake dinner set can set you back at US$2,000.
