Malayalam megastar Mammootty, who is renowned and revered for his unparalleled acting talent, is also noted for his apparel and accessories, as he never misses the chance to stand out with his fashion choices.
From clothes that reflect the aesthetics of the era to elegant wearables and gear that have yet to gain favour in the public sphere, Mammootty has frequently introduced the Malayali community to rising fashion trends much before they would have otherwise reached them. Among the many possessions he has are luxury watches that he has often flaunted during various events.
Now, another of Mammootty's watches has piqued the interest of netizens, not only because it costs millions, but also because he chose such a stunning piece. On his 74th birthday, the Malayalam megastar's son, actor-producer Dulquer Salmaan, made a poignant Instagram message, indirectly expressing how thrilled he and the entire family were with Mammootty's recovery from a health scare. Along with a long statement, Dulquer posted a black-and-white photo of the iconic actor, showing him peering through the viewfinder of his camera, capturing a moment.
In the birthday photo shared by Dulquer Salmaan, fans quickly noticed a watch on Mammootty’s left wrist and began trying to identify its brand and price. Social media content creator Effin M, known for reviewing gadgets and apparel used by celebrities, revealed details about the luxury timepiece, which reportedly takes a considerable amount of time to reach customers after placing an order, the Indian Express reported.
According to Effin, Mammootty is wearing the Patek Philippe 5205G-013 annual calendar watch, part of the brand’s renowned “everyday complication” series. Patek Philippe, one of the world’s oldest luxury watchmakers founded in 1839 in Geneva, is known for its intricate craftsmanship.
As described on the company’s official website, the watch is distinguished by three apertures for the day, date, and month arranged along a circular arc. It features a hand-stitched shiny black alligator leather strap with square scales, secured by a white gold prong buckle. The self-winding timepiece comes with a striking two-tone blue sunburst dial, a 24-hour indicator, and a moon phase display positioned at 6 o’clock.
While acquiring this model through the manufacturer's official channels may take years, the watch's market price in 2025 is estimated to be around Rs 48.39 lakh. The dauphine-style hands are made of white gold and have a white luminescent coating.
Mammootty, who last appeared in Bazooka, is now preparing for the premiere of his highly anticipated crime film Kalamkaval, in which he co-stars with Vinayakan. The Malayalam megastar will soon return to the sets of Mahesh Narayanan's Patriot, marking his on-screen reunion with fellow superstar Mohanlal after many years.
