For a truly opulent watch that is larger than life, you can’t beat this huge watch created by Jacob & Co. It features an 18 karat white gold case which is the perfect base for the baguette cut, beautifully clear diamonds. If you’re looking for a diamond watch that sparkles like a tennis bracelet or another cut of the diamond, you won’t get the same effect here because the cut doesn’t refract light in the same way. While the diamonds may be the focal piece of the watch, you can’t ignore the manually-wound tourbillion-based face and the skeletonized mechanical movement. The dial features hourly markers (diamond, naturally) and has a pair vivid blue hands.

If you thought this timepiece was too over the top, perhaps this next one is more your style.

Sotheby’s listed the sale of this watch as one of the most important watches. What makes this particular watch so interesting is that it broke the previous record of the most expensive watch which was sold in 1999 for $11 million. Why isn’t that $11 million watch on this list? It is! It’s this very watch! Five bidders had a bidding war for this beautiful pocket watch. Patek Philippe created the watch by hand in 1932, and it was sold to Mr. Henry Graves in 1933 for a nice sum totaling $15,000—a huge drop from the $24 million is was sold in recent years!

4. Price: $30 Million – Breguet Grand Complication Marie-Antoinette Watch

Originally designed by Breguet, it consists of over 823 pieces. It is a self-winding device with a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar, aquation of time, a jumping hour, power reserve indicator, as well as a bimetallic thermometer. This watch took an incredible 44 years to complete, which was unfortunate because the watch’s namesake, Marie Antoinette, was executed before it was ever finished. The original watch was stolen in 1983, and after the company was bought out by Swatch in 2005, the company began making reproductions to the tune of $10 million each.

What’s better than a diamond watch but a watch that includes a flawless diamond that can be worn as a ring?

3. Price: $40 Million – Graff Diamonds Fascination Watch

This piece looks like it was created for royalty in mind, doesn’t it? The timepiece features a flawless pear-shaped diamond in the center and is surrounded by 152 carats of beautiful white diamonds around it. The bracelet that holds the diamonds and the timepiece in place is an excellent example of metallurgy and gem setting. For those who can afford this lotto-sized price tag, you can be certain that you will wow anyone you meet while wearing it.

This next watch certain shines like a diamond—a multicolored diamond!

If ever you wanted an over the top watch that is as multifaceted and colorful as you are (or maybe as your wife is), this watch is sure to tickle her fancy. As you can see, the watch features 110 carats of extremely rare and large cuts of diamonds from an array of colors: fancy vivid yellow, fancy intense pink, fancy intense blue, fancy light gray/blue, fancy orange, fancy green, and fancy light pink. Can you say the watch is fancy? The actual dial of this watch is circular, and it is placed in the hearts, pears, marquise, radiant, emerald, and round shaped diamonds. Of the watch, Laurence Graff called it a sculptural masterpiece that celebrates the miracle of colorful diamonds. With a price tag that high, it isn’t likely to be an everyday piece; that’s for sure!

What could top a watch with a $55 million price tag? You’ll have to keep going to see!

Although this isn’t as intricate or as lavishly styled as Graff’s other designs, you cannot deny that this show-stopping piece is beautiful, tasteful, and elegant. The face of the watch is available in several different colors: black mother of pearl, pink mother of pearl, and the beautiful Tahitian mother of pearl. The way the watch’s band is constructed, the 278 diamonds are laid out and set in a design that is reminiscent of how snow looks when it falls from the sky. No price is listed for this watch, as the Graff website tells you to make an inquiry, so you know what that means… If you are aware of the rule, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Ouch!
