More than a watch, this model presents itself as a true jewel of rare preciousness.
The version in the photo is covered in rubies (714 natural, unheated rubies, for a total of 147.65 carats), as a variation of the original model launched by Jacob & Co. in 2016: a one-of-a-kind all-diamond watch called Billionaire.
From April 2024, it is also available with rainbow gems or entirely covered in emeralds.
The price is 4.600 million euros.
Reverso Hybris Mechanical Quadriptyque by Jaeger-LeCoultre
The watch is stunning and the only one in existence with four dials. The first dial shows the time, followed by the second with the same time as the first dial, but with a jumping mechanism for the hours and a click mechanism for the minutes.
The third dial offers three moon displays, the first ever on a wristwatch. The fourth dial, the outer face of the watch, features a refined engraving of the starry sky map.
The edition is limited to just 10 pieces. Price: 1.473 million euros.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Automatic 41 mm Full Gemset
At the end of May, Audemars Piguet introduced two fully paved 41 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding models, decorated with a gem-set camouflage pattern that extends from the dial to the case and bracelet.
Composed of 861 baguette-cut gemstones in graduated shades of blue or in tones of green, brown and black, the motif gives the brand’s most iconic model a new and precious look.
The version shown in the photo features 44.32 carats of graduated blue sapphires and Swiss blue topaz set in 18-carat white gold, while the second reference combines 39.91 carats of black sapphires, saturated and clear tsavorites and smoky quartz to achieve a more traditional camouflage color combination.
Price: 1.34 million euros.
Richard Mille RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
Fourteen years after Richard Mille introduced the RM 027 Tourbillon as part of a quest to create a watch that was extraordinarily light yet superlative in its performance, the brand has launched a manually wound flying tourbillon named after the brand’s long-time friend Rafael Nadal.
Weighing just 11.5 grams, the RM 27-05 can withstand a g-force of 14,000, earning it the reputation as the lightest and most resistant mechanical tourbillon in the world.
Price: €1.06 million.
Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit
At the pinnacle of Chopard’s Alpine range is this model in frosted 18k white gold set with 29.02 carats of baguette-cut diamonds.
A shining example of Chopard’s expertise in stone-setting, the 41 mm model, housed in ethical 18k white gold, was designed to evoke the look of starlight reflected on a glacier. The Frozen Summit also boasts an ultra-thin automatic LUC 96.41-L movement certified by the Poinçon de Genève, a mark of excellence in watchmaking.
Price: 922,000 euros.
Richard Mille RM 27-01 Rafael Nadal
The watch is a world record holder in the lightweight mechanical watch category. This RM 27-01 model is considered a flagship of the brand thanks precisely to the concepts of lightness and resistance. It weighs exactly 18.83 grams, including the strap, which is the heaviest part.
It is also considered “a triumph of engineering and technology”, with Richard Mille creating a truly cutting-edge movement mechanism, held in total suspension at the heart of its case.
The model is limited to 50 pieces.
Price: 740,000 euros
Classique Double Tourbillon Quai de l’Horloge by Bregeut
On June 26, 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet invented the tourbillon. To honor this milestone, the brand that bears his name has launched a 46 mm rose gold wristwatch equipped with not one, but two rotating mechanisms.
A series of artisanal techniques on the 588N2 movement (740 components in all!) reflect over 250 years of watchmaking tradition. They include a completely new guilloché motif reminiscent of sound waves applied to the rotating rose gold main plate and the rhodium-plated gold bridge beneath. There is also an engraving on the movement back depicting an aerial view of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s workshop at 39 Quai de l’Horloge in Paris and hand-chamfered details that speak to the brand’s approach to finishing.
Price: 676,000 euros.
Roger W. Smith Series 2
This is one of the Smith brand’s most iconic models, with the distinctive feature of the elegant dial layout that immediately catches the eye.
Also noteworthy are the manual winding movement and traditional English construction. A three-quarter plate and a hand-finished free-sprung balance wheel enhance this truly premium accessory. Mechanical excellence, timeless design style and mastery of precision are evident in this watch.
Price: over 460,000 euros.
1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar in White Gold by A. Lange & Söhne
A limited edition of 100 pieces, this watch marries a rattrapante chronograph with a full perpetual calendar complication, creating one of the brand’s most complex pieces. The white gold case with salmon-colored dial is very chic.
Price (unofficial) of around 300,000 euros.
MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium by Hublot
Launched in January during LVMH Watch Week, Hublot’s newest MP model, the MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System, is an avant-garde watch.
With no dial, hands or oscillating weight (the caliber and dial are fused), the watch is as radical in appearance as its functions. With 592 components, the movement required five years of research and development.
Four rotating displays replace the hands. The hours and minutes are displayed in the upper third of the dial, the circular power reserve in the middle third, and the seconds in the lower third, directly on the tourbillon cage, which is tilted 35° to optimize visibility for the wearer.
Price: 253,000 euros.
