LayarHijau– Viewers of Love’s Ambition are watching with eagle eyes. The drama starring Zhao Lusi and William Chan has captured attention not only for its romantic twists and family intrigue but also for its depiction of the luxurious lifestyles of its characters—particularly through their stunning watch collections.
Recently, a Chinese netizen named ChiChi went viral for analyzing every watch featured in the show. She not only listed the brands and models but also linked each choice to the character’s personality and estimated the prices in yuan. Converted to USD, some of these watches have jaw-dropping values, WZ Gossip Boy wrote on Baijiahao Baidu.
Watches and Prices of Love’s Ambition Characters
Shen Haoming (William Chan)
The young heir wears a Patek Philippe Nautilus, likely a 5711 model in steel or white gold. Estimated price: 1 million yuan (~$140,000). The watch reflects a character that is classy but not overly eccentric.
Xu Yan (Zhao Lusi)
She owns multiple watches, but the standout gifts from Shen Haoming are all Bulgari. ChiChi notes that this choice shows Shen Haoming didn’t fully consider the significance—a fashion watch rather than a prestigious mechanical piece.
Yu Yi Ming (Tang Xiao Tian)
The supporting male character sports a Rolex Daytona m126500LN-0001 with a rubber strap imitating the steel model. Estimated at 1.2 million yuan (~$170,000), the watch suits his persona as a clever manipulator trying to appear wealthy.
Madam Lan (Wen Zhengrong)
Leader of the wealthy wives’ circle, she wears a Van Cleef & Arpels Pont des Amoureux from the Poetic Complications series. Its romantic design features miniature figures “kissing” at noon and midnight. Price: hundreds of thousands of yuan (~$30,000–$70,000), reflecting her graceful and sentimental status.
Madam Meng
She favors simplicity with elegance, wearing a Piaget Limelight Gala, a white dial with a diamond bezel. Price: 400,000 yuan (~$56,000).

The flamboyant socialite stands out with two Richard Mille models:

Fang Lei (Zhong Ya Ting)
She exudes classic elegance with a Cartier Tank WT1000015, valued at 300,000 yuan (~$42,000)—minimalist yet sophisticated.

Shen Haoming’s business partner wears an A. Lange & Söhne Edition Homage to F.A. Lange, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan (~$56,000–$140,000), reflecting a perfectionist and quality-focused persona.
Jiang Liang (Fan Shi Qi)
He sports a Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167R-001, also worn by Sylvester Stallone. Estimated price: 600,000 yuan (~$84,000). Still, ChiChi notes Shen Haoming’s Nautilus remains the most prominent.
Huang Zong
The wealthy businessman wears an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15510ST, a sporty steel watch, valued at 400,000 yuan (~$56,000)—perfect for a relaxed yet affluent executive.
Steve
This humorous character wears an IWC Pilot “Little Prince” IW371807, durable and resilient, priced at 70,000 yuan (~$9,800).
Lawyer Han
Wearing a Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time 8108420, the watch features a polar-centered world map design. Price: 130,000 yuan (~$18,200), highlighting his ambitious and strategic personality.
ChiChi believes most watches in Love’s Ambition are likely genuine, not mere props, due to the rarity of some models. As a humorous note, she points out one “luxury watch” anyone can afford: the Huawei Kids Watch 5, only 500 yuan (~$70). “Want to look like a wealthy heir? Start here,” she jokes.
