We have curated a list of some of the world’s most expensive watches for men.

3. Louis Monet Meteoris

4. Patek Philippe 5004T
   The Patek Philippe 5004T was not a part of the 5004 collections in the most unconventional ways. The first being it was built solely for auction in 2013. Another point applauds titanium construction, the piece delivers a casual aesthetic when compared to its conservative counterparts. Hence, it is entirely believable that this watch started a crazy bidding war at the time of the auction, which concluded at an astronomical price of just over $4 million.

7. Greubel Forsey Art Piece 1
   The Greubel Forsey Art Piece 1 features a 30° inclined double tourbillon and a nano-sculpture that can only be seen through a microscope system in the watch crown.

If you notice carefully, behind the tiny lens, you might find a ship, a hummingbird, a mask, or something new entirely. But to revel in the masterfully crafted beauty of this piece, you would have to own up a price tag of $1.5 million.
