Shah Rukh Khan Casually Flaunts ₹20 Crore Watch At MET Gala 2025
In a historic and much-anticipated moment, Bollywood’s global icon Shah Rukh Khan graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5 May, marking his first-ever appearance at the Met Gala. With this debut, he became the first Indian male actor to walk the prestigious carpet- a moment that carried cultural significance and star power in equal measure.
Elegance with a touch of Royalty: SRK's outfit
Styled by celebrated Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Shah Rukh wore a sophisticated black outfit that paid tribute to Indian craftsmanship while embracing the event’s avant-garde theme. He donned a sherwani-inspired silk jacket over sleek tailored trousers. His ensemble was elevated by an array of striking layered necklaces draped across his chest, including ones adorned with diamond-studded letter 'K' charms- a subtle nod to his moniker, ‘King Khan.’
Despite the grandeur of his appearance, SRK told reporters, “I only wear black and white -that’s just me. But what we created together was something I felt truly comfortable in.” His look, he shared, was more than fashion; it was about freedom and resilience, values he and Sabyasachi sought to embody through their collaboration.
The watch that silently stole the show
While the superstar kept a grounded demeanor, a closer look at his wrist revealed one of the most exclusive accessories of the night. Shah Rukh was spotted wearing the ultra-rare Patek Philippe Grand Complications 6300G, an exceptional piece known as the most complicated wristwatch ever produced by the legendary Swiss brand.
With an estimated price tag of $2.5 million which comes down to ₹21 crores is the timepiece subtly highlighted SRK’s stature and refined taste -without saying a word. Viewers identified the rare watch using Samsung’s 'Circle to Search' feature, which instantly went viral among fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
Star-Studded evening with South Asian powerhouses
This year’s Met Gala wasn’t short on global star power. Alongside SRK, other major names like Priyanka Chopra, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé, Latin sensation Bad Bunny, and Indian singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh also made waves with their fashion choices, further cementing the evening as a celebration of diversity and creativity.
As SRK’s debut continues to trend across social media, his appearance isn’t just being praised for style, but also for its cultural depth -redefining what it means for Indian men to show up, shine, and stand tall on one of the biggest fashion stages in the world.
