Which is the most expensive watch in the world : Graff Diamonds Hallucination is the most expensive watch in the world, with a value of $55–$60 million. Revealed in 2014, this piece is dressed in multicolored rare, fancy diamonds totaling 110 carats and acts less like a traditional timepiece than a high-jewelry triumph.
World’s Most Valuable (Jewelry Watch)
Graff Diamonds Hallucination – $55 Million
This is not merely a watch; this is a high jewelry work of art. Revealed by Laurence Graff, it boasts more than 110 carats of extraordinarily rare colored diamonds (ranging from Fancy Vivid Yellow to Fancy Intense Pink and Fancy Blue) placed between platinum links in a bracelet. The real watch face is small and quartz-powered, concealed among the jewels.
The Highest Price Ever Paid at Auction
Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A-010 – $31 Million
The Hallucination comes with a bigger price tag, but this Patek Philippe holds the title for most ever paid for a watch. It was sold at the Only Watch charity auction in 2019 in Geneva.
Why it’s special: The only stainless steel version of this model ever made. It has 20 complications, two dials and five chiming modes.
Other Heavy Hitters

(Recent reports have noted the appearance of a rare Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175R-001 on the secondary market at asking price of $50 million, but private sales like this are more difficult to confirm than auction records.)
