It is said that “time means money”, but for the luxury watch buyers’, you can apply the opposite saying, “money means time”. With 700,000 dollars, some people would buy a spacious luxury car, while others buy a watch.
If you feel like you need something to make you feel unique and you have a few million dollars just lying around, then maybe you should think about buying one of these pieces.
These are the most expensive watches in the world, worn only by renowned businessmen. They fit perfectly with the ownership or management of a multinational, a yacht or a Rolls Royce.
Some of these watches are one-piece editions, others were made in just a few copies, and only two of them are valued at under $ 1 million. The most expensive of them would be a big hit to the budget of many successful businessmen.
