Lionel Messi’s recent visit to India was meant to be calm and meaningful. He visited Vantara, a wildlife rescue and conservation centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The centre is run by Anant Ambani and focuses on helping injured, abandoned, and rescued animals.
The visit wasn’t loud or flashy. Messi took part in traditional Indian rituals, spent time with animals, and talked to the people who look after them every day. Photos showed him walking around the centre with Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, smiling and interacting naturally.
Like most Richard Mille pieces, it’s made from light, high-tech materials. The design looks modern, slightly futuristic, almost like a tiny machine on your wrist. The “Asia Edition” name and the very limited production make it even more coveted by collectors. Seeing it on Messi’s wrist in public is rare, which made the moment feel even more special.
The moment everyone started looking closer
When Messi arrived at Vantara, he wasn’t wearing a watch. Later during the visit, people noticed something different on his wrist—and it wasn’t just any watch. Reports say Anant Ambani gifted Messi a Richard Mille RM 003-V2 Asia Boutique. This watch is extremely rare. Only 12 pieces exist in the world, and it’s valued at roughly USD 1.1 to 1.2 million, or about ₹10–11 crore. Once this detail came out, the watch community went into a frenzy.Why is this Richard Mille so special?
The RM 003-V2 is not your everyday watch. It has a tourbillon, one of the trickiest mechanisms to make in a mechanical watch, and a GMT feature that shows two time zones at once.
