Hardik Pandya, a Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder, has denied claims that customs authorities seized his obscenely costly watches at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday. In the freshly ended ICC World T20 2021, the elegant Indian cricketer had a forgettable outing with Virat Kohli’s Team India. Hardik Pandya, one of the Pandya brothers, was also left out of India’s white-ball selection for the T20I series versus New Zealand.
As per the Mumbai Customs Department, the ace cricketer’s two wristwatches (value Rs 5 crores) were detained when he returned from Dubai following India’s early departure from the T20 World Cup. Pandya, who is known for flaunting his lavish lifestyle on social media, is one of the most fashionable cricketers on and off the field.
Hardik Pandya, a devoted father to his son Agastya, is also a family man who enjoys spending quality time with his family members. Pandya’s passion for high-end timepieces is well-known. Let’s have a look at some of the sleek timepieces worn by Mumbai Indians and Team India superstar Hardik Pandya since he is no stranger to wearing some of the most premium timepieces.
1. Patek Philippe Nautilus Platinum
Pandya, an all-rounder, is without a doubt one of India’s highest-paid cricketers. Pandya’s watch collection is worth roughly INR 11 crore, according to a report published by GQ India. Pandya debuted his Patek Philippe Nautilus Platinum 5711 on August 13, a watch that might set you back INR 5 lakh or more. Patek Philippe watches have also been worn by Pandya’s colleague and Indian captain Virat Kohli.
2. Rolex Oyster Perpetual Daytona Cosmograph
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) awarded Hardik the Grade A contract in April. The annual retainer for Indian players in the Grade A category is INR 5 crore. Hardik resumed to the national team after successful surgery, and the star all-rounder also had a fantastic tour to Australia. Pandya shared a couple of images after taking on the ‘chef duties in the Pandya family’ in June 2020. Pandya was reportedly seen wearing a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Daytona Cosmograph, which costs about one crore rupees.
3. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712R
The Nautilus 5712R is another Patek Philippe in Pandya’s watch collection, with a bespoke addition worth roughly INR 1.65 crore. In October of last year, Hardik revealed his pricey timepiece while posting a photo from one of his most recent photoshoots. One of Pandya’s Patek Philippe watches has an eight-year waitlist, according to Zomato’s Rahul Ganjoo.
