When it comes to luxury watches that are beautiful, timeless, complex, and expensive, Patek Philippe is a name you can’t miss. It is among the oldest watchmakers in the world with lines like Aquanaut, Nautilus, and Calatrava that start at 29,000 AUD for the entry-level models. Things are getting crazy price-wise as one of the brand’s watches that has been listed on Chrono24, a watch marketplace costs 72 million AUD, yes, $72,000,000.00 AUD.

 

The watch is named Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175R-001, and it is among seven unique pieces. It is also one of the most insanely complicated watches made by the manufacturer. The watch was released in 2014 at the 175th anniversary of the brand. It features two dials, 20 complications, four different chiming mechanisms, and a swivelling case. It also has 108 embedded jewels, a rose old case, a sapphire crystal, a 72-hour power reserve, a crocodile skin bracelet, and Calibre GS AL 36-750 movement.

 

When sold in 2014, the price of these Patek Philippe watches was set at 3.8 million AUD. With time, the price of these watches has skyrocketed primarily because of their uniqueness, desirability, and real value. The watch is listed by a seller in Shanghai.

The 72 million price tag is just another feat for Patek Philippe as the brand’s another timeless piece, Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime (Ref. 6300A), was sold at 44 million AUD only last year. The masses also know the brand as every celebrity from Drake to Conor McGregor own at least one Patek Philippe watch and likes to flaunt it. Conor McGregor bought an Rare timepiece by Patek Philippe that cost USD 100,000 (about AUD 144143.50) while Drake showed off a USD 600,000 (about AUD 864861) Patek Philippe last November at the Raptors-76ers Game.

 

One thing we would like to highlight about this unique Patek Philippe watch to any potential owner with millions to spare to buy a watch is that the watch has manual winding. Yes, even after spending millions on this timeless piece, you will need to wind it yourself, or maybe ask one of your minions to do it for you.
