The Patek Philippe Platinum Perpetual Calendar Wristwatch on This Day in History

 

Top 10 Most Expensive Watches In The World

Today in History: Eric Clapton's "Patek Philippe" platinum perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch was sold at auction on this day in 2012. I love watches, but my idea of a luxury watch is a Casio G-Shock...and I don't even own one of those. I was watching the movie "Parker" with Jason Statham on Tubi and they kept showing his watch...which was a "Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa." There is a Chrono24 app that let's you look up luxury watches. This particular watch from the movie is worth more than $400,000. I had no idea watches were this costly, and $400,000 is not even the most expensive.

Eric Clapton's watch sold for $3,635,808, which is impressive, but still not the most expensive. Paul Newman’s Cosmograph Daytona Rolex sold for $17,752,500 at auction...and it is still not the most expensive watch ever. That claim goes to the Breguet Marie Antoinette, which is worth 30 million dollars.
