Forbes: The Most Expensive Watch
April 24, 2008

Many people used to thinking that Rolex is the most expensive watch brand in the world. Of course some of its models cost more than $10 thousands, $30 thousands or even $50 thousands. But in reality the Forbes rating list of the world’s most expensive watch is headed by Swiss brand Patek Philippe.

The watch Henry Graves Supercomplication 1932 that was being created by the craftsmen of Patek Philippe for four years will cost you a fortune. In1999 it was sold at Sotheby’s for a fantastic sum of $11 million thus becoming the most expensive watch on our planet.

The second place holds Caliber 89 made in 1989. In 2004 this pocket watch made of 18-karat gold with 32 functions was sold at Antiquorum for $5 million. Just to compare: for this sum of money you can buy 50 most expensive Mercedes 600 cars.

Swiss watchmakers from Patek Philippe know for sure how to make the most expensive watch in the world. Their Platinum World Time 1939 was sold at Antiquorum for $4 million (two private Eurocopter helicopters). Model 2523 Heures Universelles yields it a million dollars: it was sold for $2,89 million (5 private jets Cirrus).

The guests of Christie’s payed for Model 249 by Patek Philippe 1967 the sum of $2,28 million (two luxurious ocean yachts Alexander). This became an absolute record for this famous auction house.
