The world's most expensive watch, a £24.2million Patek Philippe, has sold in Switzerland at a Christie's charity auction.

The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime, one of the most complex timepieces ever crafted, was won by a private telephone bidder at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues in Geneva on Saturday.

It was expected to sell for around £2million but smashed the previous record of £13.5million held by a Rolex Daytona once owned by Hollywood star Paul Newman which sold in 2017.


The watch features a patented reversible case which can be turned to show two dials, one in rose gold, the other in black ebony.

The bidding started at 5 million CHF (approximately $5 million) and by the time it was over, a new world record had been set for the highest price paid for any watch sold at auction, ever.


Sabine Kegel, the head of Christie's watch department in Geneva, said it 'does nearly everything except making coffee.'

The watch is loaded with four spring barrels to create 20 complications, in watch making this is is any function that exists in addition to telling time and has five chiming modes.

Two chimes are patented world firsts: an acoustic alarm which sounds at a preset time and a date repeater which can sound the date whenever the wearer wishes.

But it also can't tell the future

This watch should be able to predict election results and reverse climate change otherwise it's too expensive.

Mompha and hushpuppi after seeing the watch

Looks simple but expensive
Worth owning

The wristwatch looks like something I can get for 3k ikeja underbridge, That watch better be able to reverse time and tell me when am going to be rich like Mark Zuckerberg so that I can contend with the likes of Jeff bezos And Warren buffet, if not the Sabine Kegel better add that to the list of what it can’t do!!
11.2 billion that’s more than Ogbomosho’s budget for 3 years

The vanity crew, do you guys still have form? I guess at this point, I'll have to join the vanity crew.

What?

And the eagle will be watching them like this...

Reminds me of Rancho from three idiots.

Bought your watch in millions & I bought mine in thousands but they speak the same time

There are two kinds of spurs, those with tha dope cash and those with tha broke ass.

A wise man once said, when your money is coming too slow, you better think quick and do tha shiit.

When your money isn't growing like grass, better move your ass to tha fast-lane and stop rolling on the slow-lane, so you wouldn't end up shouting vanity, when you see a dope guy wearing some dope cash on his dope wrist.

Can it make me cum...?
