The Grand complication, Time of Christmas !

The Vacheron watch making company is the oldest watch manufacturer in the world. From its beginnings in Switzerland in 1755 it has since expanded to four continents and over 40 locations around the globe. Among its many collections of watches stands the Vacheron Tour de L’ile, one of only seven unique timepieces made. At $1,250,000 the Vacheron Tour de L’ile is one of the most expensive wristwatches; but its manufacture and craftsmanship more than explain the exorbitant cost. This watch has two faces allowing you to observe the world’s time zones, perpetual calendar, a representation of the night sky, sunset time as well as a tourbillon device. This watch is the most complicated double faced watch in existence. As there have only been seven of these watches made the cost and the prestige of owning one is very high. For 250 years and counting Vacheron has made an extraordinary product available only to the elite of the elite in any society. 

The Patek Caliber 89 is another very expensive time piece, costing approximately $5,120,000. This watch is more complicated than your first marriage and took genius to create; there are thirty three complications in this watch making it the most complicated piece in the world. It has twenty four hands, 1,728 components, and countless features. There were only four of these watches ever made- one made from white gold, one in yellow gold, one in rose gold and one in platinum. Another stellar Patek watch is the Phillipe Reference 1436 by Tiffany and Co., coming in at approximately $214,000. Many of these watches were made from yellow gold, a few rare pink gold varieties, and only four known platinum styles. This watch has the ability to time two different events at the same time as well as bring you the style, elegance, and high class reputation of Tiffany’s. Finally comes the Patek Philippe Reference 5016P, retailing at $762,000 and boasting a star chart, perpetual calendar, 506 moving parts and a tourbillion (among other features). It is made up of platinum with a leather wristband that will cause jealousy among everyone you meet. 

Audemars Piquet has produced a watch that has all the features of the great handcrafted watches without needing an in-depth knowledge of the watch’s inner workings. The Oak Grande Complication watch ($560,000) has a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, split second chronograph and a moon phase observer and is self-winding; meaning, you won’t need to bother yourself with upkeep or making sure it is correct, because it will continue to run long after it has been passed down in your family for a couple generations. This watch has customization features especially for you, but as always it comes at a price. This beautifully crafted watch is meticulously built, balanced, and perfected at the hands of the watch masters of Audemars Piquet. This company is not the oldest watch making company in the world but they have certainly built and continued to make a splash with their stunning product and nonnegotiable quality of business.
