When I say expensive, I;m not talking about a few thousand dollars here, I’m talking like your house expensive. Some of these watches are millions of dollars. Why would someone want to wear something so expensive on their wrist? I don’t think all of the jewerly I own equals a million dollars.

Patek Philippe Reference 1591
Price tag: $2,263,964
This normal-looking watch was sold at an auction for well over $2 million. It immediately became the most expensive stainless-steel watch ever sold. If you ever inherit a Patek Philippe in stainless steel, then you’d better take care of it. Patek Philippe watches in steel are more rare than their siblings in gold and therefore fetch incredibly high prices at auctions.
Honestly, this one isn’t even that nice looking. I like the cool logo on the bottom with the celestial theme. For a price like this, I hope the watches plays music or something.

Patek Philippe Reference 2499 First Series
Price tag: $2,280,000
Again, a Patek Philippe. But this one is made in rose gold rather than stainless steel. So this proves it’s also smart to hang on to rose-gold watches you inherit. It might just be a rare one like this reference 2499 limited edition of only five pieces.
This one is way nicer looking. The gold embeleshment makes it look really sharp. This one is definitly an investment from this company, rather than the stainless steel one.

Patek Philippe Supercomplication
Price tag: $11 million
And, again, a Patek Philippe, a brand that is famous for the many highly collectible watches that are sold for millions at auctions. Here’s the Patek Philippe Supercomplication, a yellow-gold pocket watch, that was created for banker Henry Graves Jr. in 1932. Graves had a competition with James Ward Packard (of the Packard car company) for having the world’s most complicated watch. This Patek Philippe Supercomplication ensured Graves of winning this contest, and it was Patek Philippe who created a watch with even more complications (the Patek Philippe Caliber 89).
$11 million?? Are you crazy? It’s a pocket watch!

The 201-Carat Chopard
Price tag: $25 million
This is the world’s most expensive watch, and it’s made of a 15-carat pink diamond, a 12-carat blue diamond and an 11-carat white diamond. They also used some white gold and some yellow gold, and, of course, 163 carats of smaller diamonds, coming to a total of 201 carats.
There is no reason for anyone to own this watch. It’s not even pretty. Honestly, it looks tacky and I wouldn’t even think it’s more than a few thousand. If I ever see someone out with this watch on in New York City I am going to heckle them because they have a nasty piece of jewerly on their wrist.
