Like a handbag or shoes, you have to have the right watch for the job and when you have an endless supply of money, which watch do you buy?\n
Well let your worries disappear all you oil barons and celebrities, below is a list of 5 of the world\u2019s most expensive watches.\n
This list doesn’t include pocket watches, or collections of watches. These watches also have to have been sold or auctioned and are astronomically priced.\n
So without further ado, let\u2019s begin!\n
\n
We\u2019ll start with the cheapest, but still way beyond our grasp, it\u2019s the Patek Phillipe\u2019s 500T.\n
The T in the name stands for Titanium, this Patek Phillipe watch is quite literally a one-of-a-kind piece.\n
The titanium option is the only one in the 5004 series, a series which has now been discontinued.\n
This watch is very nice though; sleek, stylish and generally quite the showstopper.\n
It has a 12 hour split second Chronograph, a perpetual calendar and a moon phase indicator all embedded in a beautifully checkered face with pointed watch arms.\n
This watch designed for the Only Watch 2013 auction, and was snapped up.\n
\n
Climbing the ladder at fourth place is once again Patek Phillipe\u2019s Platinum World Time.\n
This one-of-a-kind timepiece was created in 1939 as part of the Patek Phillipe Time collection.\n
At the time of auction in 2002, it was actually the world\u2019s most expensive wristwatch fetching $4,000,000 but has since been surpassed by a plethora of others.\n
It\u2019s quite the impressive piece of kit, the watch winds itself and is capable of finding the time regardless of its location in the world and has a very stylish blue, green and sandy map watch face.\n
\n
At third place – and half way through the list, Hublot\u2019s Big Bang. This watch has such a high price for one major glittering reason (or 1280 of them); diamonds.\n
This watch has a total of 1280 3-carat diamonds. Every diamond was cut by an experienced well-known New York jeweler to ensure every cut was the same.\n It took a whole year to source the stones worldwide but with a price tag of $5,000,000 why not? No expense is spared!\n
