The Fascination by Graff Diamonds, dubbed the most expensive timepiece 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 center!
What a deal—a watch and a ring!
3. Breguet Grande Complication Marie-Antoinette – $30 Million
The stunning pocket watch, which is covered in gold and shows off the sophisticated mechanisms inside, is said to have been commissioned by a former lover of the French monarch Marie Antoinette.
The watch took the better part of 40 years to build, 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 view the finished watch.
Such is life.
4. 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 office.
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.
5. 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 costly 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 would be needed if that isn't enough.
