The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime was first introduced in 2014 to commemorate the company's 175th anniversary. The first and only stainless steel example has 20 complications, including five acoustic functions, two of which are patented global premières: an alarm that sounds at the preprogrammed alarm time and a date repeater that sounds the date on demand. The Grandmaster Chime also has a double-face case design that is easily reversible utilizing Patek Philippe's unique reversing mechanism. This version sold in 2019 for an incredible $33,616,493, making it Patek Philippe's most expensive watch ever.

The Breguet Grande Complication features a more classic pocket watch style. Marie Antoinette got its moniker because the Queen of France admired the watchmaker's creations. The Grande Complication watch was given to her in 1783 after a dinner guest requested it from Breguet, which fitted the all-gold model with a variety of skilled horological functions. After four years of research and reconstruction, the new Marie-Antoinette clock was proudly put in its spectacular presentation case, which was carved from the wood of the Versailles oak tree where the Queen formerly rested.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the industry's oldest watchmakers, with renowned designs such as the Reverso. Jaeger-LeCoultre's 101 Collection, which debuted in 1929, showcased the company's technical craftsmanship by offering the world's smallest mechanical caliber. The Joaillerie 101 Manchette stands out as the brand's pinnacle model, with over 576 brilliant-cut diamonds in its small square form. In its small-scale design, a single square houses Jaeger-LeCoultre's micro movement. The Joaillerie 101 Manchette is significant since it was developed to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's 60th year as leader.

It may not be subtle, but this Chopard timepiece makes a strong statement. With 874 diamonds—201 carats in total—in a variety of dazzling colors, this 25 million dollar watch is likely the Swiss watchmaker's magnum opus, a favorite of both celebrities and royalty. Some people are drawn to high-end timepieces because of their engineering and technical expertise. Others simply want some sparkle. This Chopard timepiece, which features a 15-carat pink diamond, a 12-carat blue diamond, and an 11-carat white diamond, is likely the latter. But if you can afford it, why not? It's simply an added advantage that it tells the time.

This Patek Philippe gold pocket watch, created in 1933 for a wealthy American banker named Henry Graves, took 7 years to design and produce in an era when watchmaking relied on craftspeople rather than computer calculations. One of the world's most costly pocket watches, it features a perpetual calendar, minute repeater with Westminster Chimes, dawn and sunset times, and a celestial chart based on the night sky as seen from Graves' New York residence.

Actor and heartthrob Paul Newman was known for his love of fine watches and for being a devoted racing car fan. Hence why, when she had it commissioned in 1968, his wife Joanne Woodard had this watch engraved with the words Drive Carefully. With its unusual black and cream exotic dial and elegant Art Deco style, the Paul Newman Rolex Daytona Ref.6239 appeals to more than horological buffs and anyone interested in Hollywood memorabilia alike.

Jacob & Co. is back to raise the price tag of its most expensive retail watch by unveiling the all-new $20,000,000 Billionaire Timeless Treasure. Covering its entire surface with precious stones, the Billionaire Timeless Treasure features over 425 Asscher-cut yellow diamonds and 76 emerald/kite-cut tsavorite gems throughout its case and bracelet. Glistening in the light upon every angle, the first-ever colored Billionaire watch presents a total of 482 yellow diamonds that weigh in at an incredible 216.9 carats. The project took over three years to create and almost dried up the market for exceptionally high-quality yellow diamonds across the globe.

Part of a limited edition four-piece series, the main appeal of this particular watch lies in its case. Made with a high-grade stainless steel case, it distinguishes itself from other Patek Philippe luxury watches, typically made of yellow or rose gold. First introduced in 1941, the Patek Philippe Ref.1518 made horology headlines as the first-ever perpetual calendar and chronograph—yet another reason why this watch impresses collectors. And while you might think steel would make a watch less valuable than gold, it’s hard to find high-end watches in this material. Rarity always pushes prices up.

As this list demonstrates, Patek Philippe excels at designing watches that collectors would battle over, and this double-crown world timer is yet another example. This wristwatch stands out for its blue enamel face, which contrasts well with the sumptuous 18k pink gold casing. It uses the Heures Universelles world time system, which was patented in the 1930s by horological icon Louis Cottier. It is also the only known reference 2523 with the signatures of Patek Philippe and Gobbi Milano.

This Vacheron Constantin clock, commissioned by a private client, is the most complicated watch in the world, with 57 different complications, 2826 separate components, and 242 gems. Ten of these problems were completely novel horological inventions at the time of production. What are some of the most outstanding functions? A 'night mode', the Judaic calendar, and a double retrograde split-seconds chronograph. The case is minimal and straightforward, letting the immaculate mechanics to take center stage. It seems fair that this watch sold for roughly $8 million, given that it took three watchmakers eight years to design and build.

This Patek Philippe clock, based on the brand's reference 5016, is an incredibly intricate and stunningly expensive invention. While the Ref. 5016 went out of production in 2011, the firm chose to bring it back for this occasion. The reference is already extremely uncommon, and this one-off is completely unique, which explains why watch collectors are willing to go to great lengths to obtain it. The watch has a minute repeater, a tourbillon, and a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date—three of the most popular watch complexities. It also features a striking blue dial made of Grand-Feu enamel, and the mechanism is contained in a compact 36.8 mm case.

This Patek Philippe clock, known as a 'grail' watch, is one of the most mythological and famous in the horological world, fitting for a brand that has made some of the best men's watches of all time. The watch is called the Silk Road 2523. Its most notable feature is a dial with a map of Eurasia. It also has a world clock complication, a dual crown, and a 41-city ring, making it both elaborate and readily recognizable. There are only three yellow gold 2423 world timers with this exact dial, which is why collectors are ready to pay more than $7.5 million for one.

Patek Philippe originally designed the watch for the brand's 150th anniversary, and it includes an almost absurd number of complications, such as a second time zone, sunrise and sunset timer, perpetual calendar, century leap year correction, solstice and zodiac indication, and an unusual Easter date indication. This final complexity is particularly noteworthy—complicated to generate because it is governed by astronomy and varies year after year. Given the considerable engineering going on inside the case, it's no surprise that this astronomical watch is 88.2 mm in diameter and 41.07 mm thick—a veritable behemoth.

When this essential predecessor to future Patek Philippe wristwatches was originally introduced in the 1940s, it caused quite a sensation. Its case design was unmistakably avant-garde in style and proportions—rounder, bigger, with extended and slightly bent lugs. Despite horology experts efforts to uncover the details, little is known about this watch other than it was one of just two Ref. 1527 watches. It includes a chronograph with the date and lunar phases. The movement also features 23 diamonds. The buckle is composed of 18k gold, which, together with the watch's rarity, helps to explain why it sold for such a high amount at auction.

Many of the world's most costly timepieces are unique—or extremely rare. Consider this Patek Philippe timepiece, the first and only titanium edition of the Reference 5208 Triple Complication wristwatch. The brand rarely uses titanium, thus this watch stands out to collectors right away. The timepiece also includes a minute repeater, a monopusher chronograph, and an instant perpetual calendar. The blue watch face features a hand-guilloched 'Carbon' design, and a display back allows the lucky owner to see the superb craftsmanship at work.

This timepiece, the second most costly Rolex ever sold in public, has made headlines since Hodinkee first featured it in 2013. Collectors can't believe there's a white gold vintage Daytona. The Daytona was designed to be a daily sports watch, so the decision to use a premium material like white gold is unusual, to say the least. The Rolex Daytona Ref. 6265 was built in 1970 and now comes with a premium white gold band. This one-of-a-kind beauty also has a striking black dial with white gold indices.

Patek Philippe's Caliber 89 has long been regarded as the most intricate timepiece in the world, and it is one of only four. The remaining three are constructed of pink gold, white gold, and platinum. Weighing under 1.1 kg, the watch has 33 complications, including sunrise and sunset times, world time for 125 cities, a perpetual calendar, a split-second chronograph, a minute repeater, a barometer, an altimeter, and a compass. It's no surprise that the movement took nine years to develop on its own. It is certainly a strong contender for the world's most costly gold watch.

This watch broke the world record for the most expensive watch ever when it was sold at Antiquorum's Geneva auction in April 2002 for 6.6 million Swiss francs. It was hardly seen again until it appeared at Christie's Hong Kong auction house in 2021, adding to its mystical and elusive aura. Although it is no longer the world's most expensive watch, it is still a highly sought-after timepiece. The only platinum reference 1415 HU in the world, this Patek Philippe masterpiece's monotone design adds some high-end drama. The world-time mechanism is regarded as Patek Philippe's first production world timer.

Patek Philippe is one of the world's leading luxury watch companies, so expect to see it mentioned frequently on this list. First up is this extremely rare Patek Philippe world timer, one of only four in existence. Only two versions of the clock have ever been auctioned. This one is made of rose gold and features an exquisite and unusual guilloché-patterned dial. One of the earliest Patek Philippe inventions to include the brand's dual-crown technology, with one crown used to wind the watch and the other to manage the 24-city timer. The combination of polished and brushed surfaces contributes to the classy appearance of this one-of-a-kind timepiece.

The Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega is the Swiss watchmaker's pinnacle of achievement, emerging as the most expensive and sophisticated model ever manufactured. The Aeternitas Mega, with 36 complexities and 1,483 components, is a wonder of microengineering and horological mastery. Its 42mm tonneau-shaped case is made of 18k white gold, and the dial, which features a range of functions, is presented in a traditional typeface, illustrating Franck Muller's dedication to combining modern design with the rich traditions of its first masterpieces. The beautiful Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega is only available through boutique appointments and has a price tag of $2,58,000.

Hublot produced this one-of-a-kind specimen in 2014 with celebrity status in mind, setting it apart from any other Big Bang model on the market. Its dial, case, and bracelet are embellished with 1,282 diamonds set in 18k white gold. Beyonce Knowles acquired the rare diamond Big Bang for her music mogul husband Jay-Z on his 43rd birthday. After selling for a record-breaking six-figure sum, the watch earned the nickname 'The $5 Million Big Bang'. It remains the most costly Hublot ever created.
