World's Most Expensive Watch


Do you know what and how much is the most expensive watch in the world?

When I knew about this Chopard watch, I was just in awe, unaware that my mouth was open long enough for my husband to notice and brought me back to awareness.

This watch has three heart-shaped diamonds at the center part. The pink heart which weighs 15.37 carats, the blue one weighs 12.79 carats and the white with 11.36 carats. But hey, wait, what about those sparkling smaller diamonds? Yes, the center watch is surrounded, in a bracelet form, by white round and pear-shaped diamonds. These pear-shaped ones are beautifully clustered looking like flowers.

Such a timeless watch by Chopard will not be behind with engineering too as it allows the three heart-shaped diamonds open when its spring mechanism is pressed, giving you a full look of the watch's face. Underneath the heart-shaped diamonds are another set of round yellow diamonds that beautifully surround the watch.

The carat weight totaled 201 that is why this watch is called "The Chopard 201-Carat Watch".

By now, you probably have an idea how much this costs, don't you? Well, this extravagant creation only has a vanity price of $25M, yes, a whooping $25,000,000!

TRIVIA:

It has been said that lovers of social classes go for Cartier; football players for Rolex but the fabulously wealthy go for Chopard.

Famous Soccer player David Beckham, supermodels Kate Moss and Liz Hurley, and renowned actress Charlize Theron include the owners' list of such exceptionally done Chopard watches.

Elton John found this watch worth the price too.
