During an event attended by Syrian President Ahmed Shara, a watch that appeared on his wrist ignited a new controversy. It was reported that the price of the watch is 2.3 million TL, and it is said to have the ability to display 24 different time zones simultaneously.
Syrian President Ahmed Shara was recently spotted at an event wearing a Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph Ref. 5930G watch valued at approximately $55,000 (around 2.3 million TL) on his wrist.
FIRST MODERN DESIGN
This special model, introduced in 2016, is known as the brand's first modern design that combines the world time feature with a chronograph.
DETAILS OF THE LUXURY WATCH
The Swiss watch giant Patek Philippe's 5930G model stands out with its white gold case, blue dial, and matching crocodile leather strap. The model features the ability to display 24 different time zones simultaneously, making it a favorite among collectors due to its high technical craftsmanship.
The watch's price starts at around $55,000 at the brand's official sales points, but due to its limited production, it can fetch even higher prices in the second-hand market.
REACTIONS GREW LIKE AN AVALANCHE
Social media users reacted strongly to a leader of a country struggling with war, poverty, and economic crisis wearing a watch worth millions of lira. Shara's photo quickly went viral, with many users expressing their criticism through comments like "the wealth on the leader's wrist while the people are hungry."
