‣Graff Diamonds Hallucination – $55 Million
The Hallucination by Graff Diamonds is the most expensive watch in the world. The Hallucination is the pinnacle of opulence and luxury, costing even more than the most expensive watch ever created. The watch is made of 110 carats of rare coloured diamonds in a variety of cuts and finishes, set into a platinum bracelet.
The Hallucination is a unique statement piece that goes above and beyond what is possible in horlogerie.
The priciest watch in the entire world is this one!
‣Graff Diamonds The Fascination – $40 Million
This watch might be for you if you just so happen to have $40 million stashed away in a drawer and enjoy traditional-looking diamonds.
The Fascination by Graff Diamonds, dubbed the most expensive watch ever, has 152.96 carats of white diamonds.
But it also has a 38.13-carat pear-shaped diamond ring that can be removed from the watch's centre!
‣Breguet Grande Complication Marie-Antoinette – $30 Million
The stunning pocket watch, which is covered in gold and shows off the intricate mechanisms inside, is said to have been commissioned by a former lover of the French queen Marie Antoinette.
The watch took the better part of 40 years to make, starting in 1782.
When it was finished in 1827, it represented the pinnacle of design and technology with every feature that was feasible at the time.
Marie Antoinette was unfortunately put to death before she could see the finished watch.
Such is life.
‣Jaeger-LeCoultre Joaillerie 101 Manchette – $26 million
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Joaillerie 101 Manchette, which can be customised to have up to 576 diamonds and a sapphire dial, was given to Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate her 60th year in power.
It is powered by the manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101, and the watch face features a winding crown and a silver dial.
You can have it for $26 million.
‣Chopard 201-Carat Watch – $25 Million
Just remind yourself of the name of the manufacturer to understand why the Chopard 201-Carat watch is one of the most expensive watches in existence.
A cluster of vivid diamonds, including an 11-carat white diamond, a 12-carat blue diamond, and a 15-carat pink diamond, are embedded in the watch.
Another 163 carats of white and yellow diamonds might be needed if that isn't enough.
‣Patek Philippe Henry Graves Supercomplication – $24 Million
The Henry Graves Supercomplication by Patek Philippe, designed for a wealthy American banker of the same name, is the priciest watch on our list.
A perpetual calendar, minute repeater with Westminster Chimes, sunrise and sunset times, and a celestial chart based on the night sky above the owner's New York home are just a few of the intricate timepiece's 24 complications.
What a gorgeous timepiece!
‣Jacob & Co. Billionaire Watch – $18 Million
The Billionaire watch, which is made of 260 carats of emerald cut diamonds, certainly lives up to its name.
It is a stunning representation of the daring and rebellious Jacob & Co. spirit and has a lovely stylish skeleton face.
This watch will attract a lot of attention and is sure to spark conversation!
‣Paul Newman Rolex Daytona – $17.6 Million
This is what you mean by a rare watch, now!
In addition to being a well-known actor, Paul Newman loved watches and racing. This watch was a gift from his wife to him in honour of his interests.
The watch has a distinctive exotic black and cream dial. Due to their initial slow sales, it is estimated that only one in twenty Daytonas had the "exotic" dial.
However, the cost increased after Mr. Newman was spotted wearing the watch while pursuing his racing career, and it was subsequently sold for a handsome sum at auction!
‣Patek Philippe Ref. 1518 in Stainless Steel – $11 Million
The 1518 is the first of Patek Phillipe's four-piece limited edition series and is cased in premium stainless steel.
In contrast to the majority of other Patek luxury watches, which are made of rose or yellow gold, 1518, which sold at auction for $11 million, is the only perpetual Patek calendar chronograph made of steel.
If you have the money, why not?
‣Patek Philippe Ref. 1527 – $5.7 Million
The Patek Philippe Ref. 1527, which was made in 1943, may have an unassuming exterior, but it is actually made of 20 Karat rose gold and contains more than twenty different precious stones.
The cost of the watches is determined by two factors. The first was the only one of its kind, making it extremely rare. The second is that Patek went on to draw inspiration from this model for a number of other designs.
