Quality comes at a price, and getting hold of a top end luxury timepiece can involve a pretty major financial investment. Of course, models in the £900 to £2,700 range aren't exactly cheap, but those still count as fairly modest sums in the rarified world of expensive watches. The use of precious materials such as diamonds, platinum or gold, the presence of sophisticated complications (a watch movement's additional functions), plus the prestige of the brand – all of these help to determine how many zeros go on the end of the price tag.
Other factors in the price of expensive watches can be rarity, or an association with celebrities or historical figures. For instance, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona "Paul Newman"sold for an unbelievable $17.7 million. Believed to be lost from 1983 to 2007, the Breguet Marie Antoinette Grand Complication was allegedly made for the ill-fated French queen in 1782. The watch is valued at $30 million, which is equivalent to approximately £23.8 million.
