Time for a New Watch? Check Out This List of the Top 5 Luxury Watches Available

Luxury watches are far more than a timepiece worn on the wrist and have even transcended beyond the title of a fashionable accessory. Today, it has become more indicative of the owner's social status and personal prestige, so much that we can almost compare the size of their watch to the size of their ego. Those who see watches as such a personal piece, tend to see beyond price tags and look for prestigious labels, intricate details, and eminent style. However, if you happen to be one of the few who has the net worth but lack the knowledge or keen eye for selecting a style that fits your consummate stature, the list below features some of the most expensive watches available, all as sophisticated, polished and luxurious as you.

Pamigiani Bugatti Type 370 - $200,000
It was only a matter of time before a designer integrated the functions and designs of man's two substantial loves, his watch and roadster. Stimulated by the classic Italian automaker, its structure resembles an engine block, while even its components including double-rim shaped wheels are all noticeably automotive-inspired. Better than the buttery leather inside your flashy sports car, the leather on this strap is custom-made by Hermès. Just like the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, pieces are limited to 150, 50 each of red, silver and black dials, and only 50 individual pieces created per year for the next three years.

Patek Philippe's 10 Day Tourbillon - $240,000
A rectangular platinum case with a 32 mm movement diameter surrounds a rose gold dial that warrants an inconspicuous statement. Not to be underestimated however, this subtle timepiece boasts a sophisticated Tourbillon movement, a ten-day power reserve indicator, and above all, is water resistant.

Breguet 5437PT - $275,000
The 5437PT is a limited edition of seven designed with timeless layers of refinement, delicacy, and precision.

IWC Grande Complication - $300,000
The name says it all... swaggering complications, 17 all together, such as a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, four-digit year display and perpetual moon phase display with a screw-in crown. It's also pretty easy on the eyes with its sleek platinum case, but also available in yellow gold if that's your taste, and it's strap features alligator at the low end and a pure platinum bracelet at the high end.

Blancpain 1735 - $1,000,000
This is the timepiece for the watch connoisseur. With only 18 out of a limited run of 30 watches assembled to date, this is the perfect piece for those seeking exclusivity. It's ultra-slim crocodile strap is paired with a 42 mm platinum case. Constructed with 740 components, such as a split-second chronograph, minute repeater, and a generous 80-hour power reserve, there's nothing grander than this watch... except for the 7-figure price tag it dons.
