This blog will take you to the list of the most expensive watches in the world. A wise man once said everything material has the “most expensive” and a “least expensive”. He was not wrong. There exists a car that is the most expensive in the world. Its opposite is true as well. The same goes for watches. You can buy one for as low as a few nickels. But you’ll be surprised to learn how much some of the most expensive watches in the world cost. Read on to know more below.Â
1. Breguet Marie-Antoinette Grand Complication Pocket Watch
This watch is the king among watches. An infamous Queen’s lover commissioned this 18th-century pocket watch. As reported, it took almost 40 years to construct, so long that by that time, both the Queen and the man who commissioned it were long dead. Today this watch is worth $30 million.
2. Chopard 201-Carat Watch
It’s a no-brainer why this watch is on this list. Just read its name. This watch is a cluster of diamonds, including a 15-carat pink diamond. It is one heck of a valuable timepiece, even if timekeeping is beside the point. It is worth $25 million.
3. Patek-Phillipe Henry Grave Supercomplication
There is no list of the most expensive watches in the world that has no Patek-Phillipe on them. Made for an American banker, the Henry Grave Supercomplication Watch comes equipped with a perpetual calendar, a minute repeater with Westminster Chimes, and a celestial chart displaying the sky above the owner’s New York estate. This watch is worth $24 million.
4. Paul Newman Rolex Daytona
Desired by collectors throughout the world, Paul Newman gifted this watch to Paul Newman by his wife. This watch is a testimony to Paul’s love for horology and motorsport. It turned many heads when it fetched $17.7 million at an auction.
5. Jacob & Co. Billionaire Watch
This watch radiates luxury as it flaunts 260 carats of diamonds! It is a real head-turner with a beautiful skeletonized dial. As of now, it is worth $11 million.
6. Patek Philippe Ref. 1518 in Stainless Steel
The stainless steel watch is one of only four ever made by Patek Philippe. It features neither diamonds nor any other precious stone. Instead, it is encased in a stainless steel dial, making it a unique offering on this list. It oozes with majesty and precision. It is worth $11 million.
7. Hublot Big Bang
The Hublot Big Bang is all about making bold statements. Equipped with 1280 diamonds, it bursts with visual distinction. Its astounding uniform aesthetic makes it seem almost extra-terrestrial. With a self-winding movement, Hublot Big Bang is worth $5 million.
8. Louis Monet Meteoris
While on the topic of extra-terrestrial and outer space, this watch contains rocks from outer space. That automatically raises its price astronomically. Another reason for its price is its rarity. Only four of these were made, each piece different from the other in subtle ways. This watch is as rare as Halley’s comet, making it worth $4.5 million!
9. Patek Phillipe 5004T
Yet another Patek-Phillipe, this watch was exclusively made for the auction. Featuring a titanium case, this watch has a sportier aesthetic than its conservative counterparts. It also has a bold, black colour. A legend among collectors and watches enthusiasts, this watch is worth $4 million.
That is all. Together, these watches are so expensive that they can probably solve the hunger crisis of a small country. Their build, design and quality are testimony to their price, and some of these will probably last for years to come.
