Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala was renowned for his opulent lifestyle, including owning India's first aircraft in 1910. He commissioned the famed Patiala Necklace from Cartier in 1928, featuring 2,930 diamonds, including a 234-carat yellow diamond. This extravagant life was complemented by his passion for sports, as he was a cricketer. The credit for Patiala Peg goes to him.
