Mark Zuckerberg: From $120 Casios to $900,000 Masterpieces

While mostly recognized for his role in creating a social media empire, Mark Zuckerberg is quietly making a statement with another type of collection—his luxury watches.

Now in his early forties, the billionaire founder of Meta is known to sport an impressive array of timepieces ranging from simple to extravagant, contributing to his understated display of opulence.

From elegant Rolexes to an extravagant Greubel Forsey valued at nearly a million dollars, we delve into the rich tapestry of watches that adorn Zuckerberg's wrist.

A Spark of Inspiration from Anant Ambani

During a lively pre-wedding event hosted by the Ambani family in March 2024, Zuckerberg and his partner Priscilla Chan were observed admiring a Richard Mille masterpiece worn by Anant Ambani of Reliance Industries.

In a candid moment captured on video, Zuckerberg remarked, "I never considered a watch a necessity, but witnessing that changed my perspective on watches—they're quite fascinating," though he clarified he wasn't intent on acquiring that specific model.

A Coveted Patek Philippe Appears Six Months Later

Fast forward to September 2024, Zuckerberg delighted watch aficionados by posting an intimate snapshot on Instagram, showcasing a distinguished Patek Philippe embracing his wrist.

Identifying the piece as a '5236P' or the Grand Complications In-Line Perpetual Calendar, this watch is a masterpiece in platinum encased with an alligator leather strap, retailing at $141,400. It's equipped to illustrate day, date, month, leap years, moon phases, and a night/day indicator.

A Rare Find with De Bethune's Craftsmanship

Zuckerberg's penchant for exquisite watches was further cemented in September 2024 during an appearance on the 'Acquired' podcast. Attendees noted a glint of luxury from an elusive De Bethune, most likely the DB25 Starry Varius.

This rose-gold version, which is one of only twenty produced yearly, can fetch north of $80,000. Alternatives constructed from titanium or adorned with diamonds escalate the price upwards of $127,000, with the meteorite dial version peaking at $260,000.

Embracing F.P. Journe's Craft at Meta Connect

In September 2024, Zuckerberg caught the audience's eye wearing a substantial silver watch at the Meta Connect conference, a creation of F.P. Journe's Souveraine series.

This sturdy timepiece boasts a sizable band and distinctive black buttons. Introduced between 2011 and 2014, it was projected to sell for up to $54,000 during a Sotheby's auction. A variant in a deeper shade now retails online for $135,000.

Showcasing a Greubel Forsey Masterpiece

As 2025 began, Zuckerberg unveiled a significant addition to his watch collection with Greubel Forsey's exclusive Hand Made 1, valued beyond $900,000. This meticulously hand-assembled watch is a synthesis of 281 components and constructed from white gold.

With only a handful crafted each year, Greubel Forsey's CEO expressed admiration for Zuckerberg's appreciation for such traditional watchmaking.

Rolex at the Heart of UFC Fandom

Capturing attention yet again in March 2025, Zuckerberg displayed a yellow-gold Rolex Daytona Le Mans at a UFC event, a watch esteemed for its rarity and capable of fetching up to $300,000 in the resale marketplace.

Balancing Luxury with Practicality

However, it's not all about grandeur. In a more low-key appearance on 'The Colin and Samir Show' in April, Zuckerberg wore a simple Casio G-Shock priced at a modest $120, offering a stark contrast to his expensive collection.
