Asia Cup 2025: India's superstar all-rounder Hardik Pandya made a stylish statement during India national cricket team's Asia Cup training session, flaunting his luxury Richard Mille RM 27-04 watch valued at a staggering Rs 20 crore, outshining the prize money of the continental showpiece, as per media reports.
This exquisite Richard Mille RM 27-04 watch is a true rarity, as only 50 such timepieces were ever made, framed in collaboration with tennis icon Rafael Nadal.
Pandya's admiration for luxury watches is well-known, as earlier in the Champions Trophy match against Pakistan, he was seen wearing the Richard Mille RM 27-02, valued at approximately Rs 7 crore.
