How expensive can wrist watches be?

First Lady, Aishat Buhari allegedly wore a N10million Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat White Gold wrist watch which cost £34,500 (estimated at N10,453,000) during the inauguration of her husband President Muhammadu Buhari.

Neither the presidency nor Mrs. Buhari have refuted the claims, but there are indications that what Mrs Buhari had on was not the reported costly brand.

Although cased in “18K rhodiumized white gold set with brilliant-cut diamonds, octagonal crown set with a diamond, sapphire crystal, Roman numerals, silvered satin-finished dial, 2 motifs lacquered and set with brilliant-cut diamonds, blued-steel sword-shaped hands”, the first lady’s watch was not a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat White Gold wrist watch.

Instead the one she had on was a Cartier Baignoire Folle Manual Watch priced at $129 (approximately N26,832 when converted at the rate of $1 to N208). Its strap is mainly a black semi-matt alligator-skin strap and an interchangeable “toile brossée” fabric strapwhich is opposed to the Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat White Gold’s fabric strap.

On Friday, June 5, it was reported that former Minister of External Affairs, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi’s N11m Rolex wrist watch was stolen by his houseboy.

The houseboy also allegedly stole other luxury accessories valued at N9 m.
Here is the world’s 10 most expensive wrist watches, some of which are more expensive than a Ferrari, which some Nigerians may have.

According to WatchTime magazine, “it is the most expensive watch we’ve come across in recent years”.

5. Vacheron Constantin’s Tour de I’Ile was produced as a limited edition of only seven pieces to celebrate the brand’s 250th anniversary. It has two faces (on the front and back) to make room for its many displays, including a second time zone, perpetual calendar, and sunset time indicator, among others. Priced at $1,538,160, it may be the most complicated serial timepiece on the list of watches over $1 million.

6. Jaeger-LeCoulture Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie is retailed at $ 1,474,070. The watch boasts 1,300 parts, which make it capable of playing the entire Big Ben chiming sequence. According to WatchTime it was released in 2009 as part of the Hybris Mechanica 55 trilogy, a trio of very expensive watches that comprised 55 complications altogether.

7. The Roger Dubuis’ Excalibur Quatuor. Its case is made entirely of silicon, and a material with half the weight of titanium and four times the hardness. The Excalibur Quatour equipped with the RD101 movement, is notable for its four sprung balances, which work in pairs to compensate for the effects of gravity much faster than a tourbillon would, resulting in a more accurate watch. It is priced at approximately $1,125,000.

8. The Hublot Classic Fusion Haute Joaillerie “$1 Million,” is limited to only eight pieces. Its $1 million price tag comes with the 1,185 baguette diamonds covering every surface of the watch, from the case and bracelet to the open-worked dial. For the case alone, a 15-person team had to perform 1,800 hours of cutting and 200 hours of dimensional checking and quality control.

9. Patek Philippe REF 5016P costs $762,000. Rounding out the Patek trinity is the Ref 5016P (where the P stands for platinum). This watch is the second most complicated that Patek has produced. The problem with watches of this caliber is the need for adjustments, but Patek has an app for that. If you keep this moon-phase, perpetual calendar, retrograde behemoth running continuously it won’t need adjusting until 2100. Cool Material thinks it is something that your children’s children’s children will most certainly appreciate

Re: 10 Most Expensive Wrist Watches Nigerians May Have by lalasticlala(m): 5:19pm On Jun 05, 2015
10. The AP Royal Oak Grande Complication is priced at $560,000. Audemars Piquet (AP) grande complication has a perpetual calendar accurate until long after you will no longer be alive. It has a lot of the same complications as the other watches (minute repeater, split seconds chronograph, aforementioned perpetual calendar) but presents them in a way that doesn’t require a thousand page instruction manual just to read.

cheesy anyways, as for the watch issue, I don't think the first lady's watch should affect anyone's life.

Comparing her "expensive" watch with those up there, all I can say is, "Nigerians, take a moment to stop blaming others for your so called misfortunes and focus on how "you" as an individual can help in bettering your nation."

But seriously, time na money shocked

Thank God our FIRST LADY Aisha BUhari has been vindicated finally. I new this day would come, when all TANoids will bow their heads in shame. Hope you all can see yaselves now.

Aisha Buhari is an elegant woman who doesn't need to wear a 10million naira wrist watch to look classy or sophisticated. I implore all TANdroids to drop their hate for PMB, so you don't end up drowning in shame everytime the truth comes out cause the truth will always come out.

God bless PMB and his family.
