Mark Zuckerberg steals the show at Donald Trump’s inauguration with a 175,000 USD Patek Philippe gold watch.

While Lauren Sanchez dazzled in million-dollar jewelry, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, did not fall behind, grabbing attention with a luxurious Patek Philippe watch. Known for his discreet style, Zuckerberg impressed by wearing the Patek Philippe Ref. 5270/1R-001 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, a masterpiece of haute horology, valued at approximately 175,000 USD.

The watch, made entirely of 18k rose gold, is a combination of sophistication and technical innovation. With a 41mm case and a “drop” style strap, the model features a black ebony sunburst dial that contrasts elegantly with the gold hour markers and advanced functions. The highlight is the manual-winding movement CH 29-535 PS Q, composed of 456 impeccably finished parts, visible through the sapphire case back.

Among its functions, the 5270/1R features a perpetual calendar, chronograph, and a moon phase indicator, reaffirming Patek Philippe’s tradition of creating watches that combine precision and artistry. According to analyst Maria Henderson, “This model reflects sophistication and an appreciation for technical excellence, showing that Zuckerberg may be starting a new trend among Silicon Valley giants.”

This is not the only Patek Philippe in Zuckerberg’s collection. He has been seen wearing the Grand Complication 5236P, valued at 141,000 USD, and the exclusive Minute Repeater Tourbillon Ref. 5303R, valued at 1.2 million USD. The choice of the 5270/1R, however, marks a clear statement that luxury and technical innovation can go hand in hand, even on the wrist of one of the most influential leaders in technology.
