[Saba Sports News] Rohit Sharma has joined the ranks of Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni as the only captains to win the World Cup for India, leading the team to T20 World Cup 2024 glory in Barbados on June 29. Enjoying the limelight, Rohit was recently spotted at Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding festivities.
Following the World Cup win, Rohit attended a photo shoot with the trophy in a picturesque Barbados location. Dressed in the Indian jersey, he sported a rare Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watch worth approximately INR 1.5 crore, catching the shutterbugs’ attention.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, initially crafted for the Japanese market, made its global debut in 2021 with only 150 pieces available worldwide. It features a titanium case, a salmon Grand Tapisserie dial, and a perpetual calendar grand complication.
During the 1970s, quartz technology revolutionized the watch industry, but Audemars Piguet maintained its legacy with the Royal Oak, symbolizing timelessness. Virat Kohli also sported an Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar watch during the IPL 2022, choosing a 39 mm Royal Oak Openworked Perpetual Calendar in platinum. Other luxury watches favored by cricketers include Patek Philippe and the rare Rolex Daytona.
