IPL 2026 Team Owners Watch Collection: Every Timepiece Spotted in the Stands

The players get the headlines. The owners get the best seats. And at IPL 2026, the owners' boxes have quietly become one of the finest unplanned watch exhibitions in India. Here is every notable watch spotted on the wrists of IPL team owners this season, with verified pieces, actual prices, and where you can own something similar right here in Delhi.

Ananya Birla (KKR) - Rolex Day-Date 36 in Yellow Gold

Rolex Day-Date 36 | Rs 50 Lakh

Spotted at the KKR match in the team jersey, Ananya Birla wore the Rolex Day-Date 36 in yellow gold with a champagne dial. The Day-Date is Rolex's most prestigious reference and one of the most recognised watches in the world. Known as the President's Watch for its distinctive President bracelet, the 36mm yellow gold version sits at the intersection of elegance and statement. On a young owner cheering from the stands, it lands exactly right.

The Day-Date's combination of fluted bezel, Day and Date display, and solid gold construction has been unchanged in its essential character for over sixty years. That consistency is a large part of what makes pre-owned examples such compelling value in the Indian market.

Manoj Badale (Rajasthan Royals) - Rolex Daytona Black Dial Steel 116520

Rolex Daytona Steel 116520 | Rs 25 Lakh

The Rajasthan Royals co-owner was photographed at an RR event wearing the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116520 with a black dial on steel bracelet. The 116520 is one of the most collected Daytona references of its generation, produced between 2000 and 2016 with the proven Zenith El Primero-based movement. On the secondary market globally, it remains highly sought after precisely because it represents the Daytona before Rolex moved to its in-house chronograph calibre in the 116500. A clean 116520 in steel is one of the most interesting pre-owned Rolex buys available.

The pairing of a steel Daytona with a pink Rajasthan Royals polo is exactly the kind of effortless confidence that comes from wearing a watch you genuinely own and love, not one chosen for effect.

Shah Rukh Khan (KKR) - Patek Philippe Nautilus Denim 590/60G-001

Patek Philippe Nautilus Denim | Rs 2 Crore

The most talked-about watch in the stands all season. Shah Rukh Khan was photographed wearing the Patek Philippe Nautilus 590/60G-001, the so-called Denim Nautilus, with its blue denim-textured strap and white gold case. This is one of the most recent Nautilus editions and one of the most quietly considered pieces SRK has been photographed with. The porthole design, the horizontally embossed dial, and the integrated bracelet aesthetic that defines the Nautilus are all present in unmistakable form. At Rs 2 crore, it is a watch whose value has appreciated meaningfully since release.

For collectors who want to enter the same space of serious Swiss watchmaking, the pre-owned IWC Portugieser and Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra offer that same architectural sports-watch language at a very different price point.

Preity Zinta (Punjab Kings) - Cartier Panthere de Cartier in Yellow Gold

Cartier Panthere de Cartier Yellow Gold | Rs 32 Lakh

Photographed at a PBKS match, Preity Zinta wore the Cartier Panthere de Cartier in yellow gold. The Panthere is Cartier's jewellery watch icon, born in the 1980s, discontinued, and revived in 2018 to immediate collector enthusiasm. Its articulated bracelet, square case, and Roman numeral dial blur the boundary between timepiece and fine jewellery in a way no other watch does quite as naturally. The yellow gold version is its most classic configuration.

For buyers in Delhi looking for a pre-owned Cartier at a more accessible price point, the steel Panthere and the Ballon Bleu both offer that same Cartier presence at significantly lower pre-owned premiums.

Nita Ambani (Mumbai Indians) - Richard Mille RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics

Richard Mille RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics | Rs 2.8 Crore

The single most expensive watch photographed at any IPL 2026 match belongs to Nita Ambani, spotted with the Richard Mille RM 07-01 in colored ceramics: a blue ceramic tonneau case with a coral red strap. The RM 07-01 is Richard Mille's core women's collection reference, but colored ceramic versions are produced in extremely limited numbers and command significant premiums. At Rs 2.8 crore, it is a watch that communicates absolute confidence in a language understood by a very specific audience.

For collectors drawn to bold, architecturally unconventional watches at more accessible pre-owned price points, the Hublot Big Bang Classic Fusion and Spirit of Big Bang occupy a similar design philosophy.
