the top 10 most expensive watches in the world welcome to a luxe calm the place where future billionaires come to get inspired hi there and welcome to another a luxe calm original video every true gentleman knows the importance of a luxury watch once a year we take a look at the most expensive watches in the world and rank them we've been doing this for years now and we really wanted to make a video on them for some time now most of the watches we're gonna show are one-of-a-kind and owned by the richest people in the world and who would judge them watches are a status symbol and owning one priced so high will definitely set you apart from the other billionaires out there so what exactly makes these watches so expensive it mostly comes down to just three factors one expensive parts such as rare diamonds gold platinum meteor rock dinosaur bone etc to the amount of time it took to complete and the detail level of what the watch is able to do also known as complications and three how unique or how much of an intangible value can be attributed to the piece every watch we're going to feature has an incredible story behind that will make you wonder what it's like to own a watch designed only for the most affluent individuals number ten luimon a meteors watch price 4.6 million dollars what if I told you there was a watch so rare that in order to make it you had to go into space and get some moon rock what if I told you there were four of these watches that apart from the beautifully crafted architecture each contains something so special that the average person will never get to encounter it in their lifetime these four watches from the meteors collection by Louie Monet one contains moon rock another rock from Mars and the other two rare meteorites number nine how blocked big bang price five million dollars if the previous pieces stood out by the rarity of the components this one focuses on only one material diamonds and a lot of them but just how many diamonds can one manufacturer put on a wristwatch Hublot answer that question with as many as we can fit in there they ended up with 1280 diamonds that have at least three carats each it took over one full year just to find the diamonds and bring them to the headquarters from all corners of the earth but the end result was fully worth it every single stone was cut by a well renowned jeweler from New York with over 40 years of experience in order to make sure each bares the same signature cont you're probably wondering who'd spent five million dollars on a full diamond watch beyonce knowles bought it for her husband jay-z as a birthday gift for his 43rd anniversary we've covered the story in our 15 things you didn't know about Beyonce video which you can check out by clicking on the top right corner right now number eight Vacheron Constantin 572 6-0 the most complicated watch ever made price eight million dollars this time Vacheron Constantin decided to make one of the most complicated watches in existence the watch is fairly new compared to the rest of the ones on this list a complication is the number of functions a watch can do and this one has 2800 components and 57 complications it has a solid 18 karat white gold case and densely packed components inside it took a team of three watchmakers more than eight years to design and create the 2800 component reference five seven two six zero from scratch they were considering setting the price somewhere between five to ten million and a private buyer picked it up for eight million dollars number seven Patek Phillipe ref fifteen eighteen wristwatch price 11 million one hundred and thirty six thousand six hundred and forty two dollars mid-november 2016 at the Philips in association with bucks Andrew so Geneva watch auction for sale an incredibly rare Patek Phillipe West watch was auctioned off it was sold for eleven million Swiss francs that's around eleven million one hundred and thirty six thousand six hundred and forty two US dollars the reason why it fetched such a high amount is rather odd it's the fact that it has stainless steel casing a very rare thing since almost all luxury watches Patek made are with yellow or rose gold while most other watches on this list get their value from the jewels added to the watch or are super complicated this is a part of a very limited edition four-piece series the originals on the back of the watch underneath the cereal you can notice a number one which means it's the first one of the four number six Jacob and Co billionaire watch price 18 million two hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars this feels less like a watch and more like a crown the Jacob & Co billionaire watch is certainly one of the most luxurious watches in the world it's like they looked at the five million dollar Hublot we mentioned before and said yeah we can do better adorned with two hundred and sixty carats worth of brilliant emerald cut diamonds it features a handcrafted movement comprising 167 components and 19 jewels just to put things into perspective if you had the money to buy this particular watch but instead you put it in a decent portfolio that pays 7% interest you'd be earning 1.3 million dollars every year just on the interest the company wasn't playing around when they said this is a billionaires watch number five Patek Phillipe Henry graves pocket watch price twenty four million dollars it used to be the most expensive pocket watch the world has ever seen it was sold for 11 million back in 1999 but if we adjust for inflation the economic environment and its novelty factor this piece could easily go for over fifteen million dollars if it was to be resold they wanted to put that theory to the test last year it went on sale and it fetched a record-breaking twenty four million dollars made in 1933 for banker Henry graves and it took over five years to complete it happens to be one of the most complicated and complex pocket watches in the world with over twenty four functions made out of 18 karat gold the watch used to be the world's most expensive pocket watch until late 2013 when one piece dethroned it it's the one on the top third spot number four Chopard 201 carat watch price 25 million dollars with 874 rare diamonds the chip hard 201 carat watch used to be the world's most expensive watch and is still one of the highest priced jewelry watches on the market sold in the year 2004 this unbelievable amount of 25 million it made the front page of every luxury publication at the time contrary to the five million dollar Hublot we've talked about earlier the stones don't form any sort of pattern or design which leads us to the following question why it turns out this wasn't just a publicity stunt for the company as they managed to sell it we believe the moment this watch sold for that incredible amount it opened up the door for a new breed of luxury watches with all that considered we still have to bow our heads to the masterpiece creative and take a closer look to see the detail level of work put into the ultimate jewelry it features a very small display and such a wide variety of diamonds that even at close inspection it is very likely for you to miss some if you click on the top right corner you can see a list of all the rare diamonds used to build it number three drag wet Grande complication a Marie Antoinette price 30 million dollars this is currently the most expensive pocket watch in the world so what makes this watch so costly it was commissioned by an alleged lover of Marie Antoinette the French Queen work on the watch began in 1782 by abraham-louis Breguet and was finished in 1827 by his son four years after his death the result an amazing piece of design class and technology containing every function that was possible at the time encased in gold displaying the intricate mechanism running it brigade used sapphire to lower the friction within the piece Marie Antoinette did not get to see the watch since it was completed 34 years after her execution but we can be sure she would have been impressed the watch was stolen in the late 1900s and retrieved only into thousand seven ever since every top watch connoisseur wanted it as of 2017 the watch is valued at at least thirty million dollars currently the watch is secured at the LA mayor Museum so you can see it live if you're in the area number two graph diamonds the fascination price forty million dollars remember when we said that show fired opened the door for a new type of watch well this is it jewelry companies have the upper hand when it comes to simply adding as many valuable gems and stones to a watch as possible and graph is the biggest name of all when it comes to diamonds the watch consists of one hundred and fifty two point nine six carats of white diamonds with a center fancy cut exquisitely rare stones that is a thirty-eight point one three carat D flawless pear-shaped diamond that detaches into a ring according to Lawrence graph the founder and chairman of graph diamonds the fascination is an outstanding piece carefully crafted so it can be worn a number of different ways adding a touch of magic to the jewel number one graph hallucination price 55 million dollars this is it the graph hallucination is the most expensive watch in the world where do we even begin it was unveiled a couple of years ago at the base world watch and jewelry fair the first time graph took part in it they sure knew how to make an entrance from the start the watch was supposed to be the most valuable timepiece ever created and they did it the incredible worth stems from 110 carats of really rare and really big colored diamonds set into a bracelet of platinum just to make things easier when diamonds are extracted and processed their color ranges from D to Z the colored diamonds used for this particular watch qualify as fancy which means they go beyond the normal scale as incredibly rare and valuable if you look really close at the bundle of gems you can see a tiny quartz dial in the middle of it framed by pink diamonds laurens graphs comments on the hallucination the graph hallucination is a sculptural masterpiece a celebration of the miracle of colored diamonds for many years I have thought about creating a truly remarkable watch that illustrates all of our consuming passion for diamonds the hallucination has made my diamond dream a reality just to put things into perspective the most expensive watch costs as much as a Gulfstream private jet what do you
