What Are The 'Kinky Details' On Andy Byron's ₹6 Crore Richard Mille RM 69 Watch He Wore At Coldplay Concert

The Coldplay concert turned expensive in all parts of life for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the HR chief. The kiss cam (and camera phones) turned toward Andy and Kristin Cabot, whose unexpected PDA moment went viral after being caught sharing an intimate moment at the concert.

While the internet was busy dissecting their relationship dynamic, a niche set of luxury watch enthusiasts couldn’t help but zoom in on something else: Byron’s outrageously rare wristwatch.

A watch worth over ₹6 crore

The watch in question? None other than the Richard Mille RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon, a limited-edition timepiece with a jaw-dropping price tag of approximately $570,000 (over ₹6 crore). Only 30 of these were ever produced, making it one of the rarest Richard Mille watches out there.

For those unfamiliar, Richard Mille is a Swiss brand renowned for pushing the boundaries of horology, often merging advanced engineering with bold , and sometimes controversial-aesthetics. The RM 69 takes that ethos a step further.

What makes the RM 69 so wild?

Unlike your standard luxury watch, the RM 69 features rotating titanium bars on the dial that randomly generate sensual and suggestive phrases. Yes, you read that right, this timepiece doesn’t just tell time, it talks dirty too. Designed to be both provocative and artistic, it walks the fine line between mechanical ingenuity and erotic playfulness.

And while most Richard Mille models are associated with athletes, celebrities, and billionaires, the RM 69 stands out for its sheer boldness. It’s more than just a collector’s item, it’s a statement of confidence, eccentricity, and in some cases, audacity.

An unlikely conversation starter

At an event where fans were expecting pyrotechnics and anthems, few would have imagined a risqué watch becoming the centerpiece of the post-show chatter. Byron’s wristwear, already a rarity in the wild, now has internet notoriety attached to it thanks to the timing of his viral moment.

In the world of horology, erotic watches have a long-albeit discreet, history. From 18th-century pocket watches with hidden automaton scenes to modern mechanical marvels like the RM 69, they’ve always appealed to collectors with a taste for the taboo.
