Saif Ali Khan has finally joined Instagram in 2026, which means the rest of us now get a scroll through the life of a man who spent three decades playing some of the most diverse characters on-screen and privately enjoyed a princely life.
Days after he and Kareena Kapoor Khan took the Kapil Sharma couch, the internet is doing what it does best: zooming in on his wrist. Good. That's where the story is.
While his first watch was an Omega Constellation, picked up at Zurich airport for about a thousand dollars, bought, by his own admission, because a young actor in Bombay was supposed to own one, the Omkara actor since then has build a watch collection that's far more considered and niche.
A Patek Philippe Nautilus, Rolexes, an annual-calendar Patek chronograph, a Lange, and a 1970s Piaget that stopped traffic at the Mumbai airport. There is even a Rolex with its own plot: a diamond-studded gift from the Sultan of Brunei's daughter, which he once tried to sell to a producer on the sets of Race, before handing it to Kareena instead. There are indeed plenty of watch stories that saif-ly make it obvious about that Saif Ali Khan is into watches.
The 10th Nawab of Pataudi has never needed to announce his taste. His watches do it for him, quietly, and with a Pataudi's disregard for the fuss. Here are 6 of them below that give you a glimpse into this watch collection:
