Yes maybe wrist watch but not the most expensive Patek Philip In December 1999, one of the most complicated watches ever made became the most expensive watch ever sold when it was hammered down for $11 million at Southey's.The Graves Patek watch had a presale estimate of $3 million to $5 million, and sold for $11,003,500 to an anonymous collector.Henry Graves Jr commissioned from Patek from around 1900 to 1933 several watches later when he died his collection was sold for over well over $28 million.

And worth every penny IMO, if you happen to have an obscene bank balance.
Here is a picture of mine though not worth 1/3000 of the value of the Graves watch, but I love it.
The finish to the movement is outstanding and second to NONE and what makes it even better is nobody takes any notice of it at all!

While I love Rolex watches, I also drool over Pateks. I told my wife recently that I'd buy her a $10k ring for our 10th anniversary if she buys me a $17k Patek Nautilus. That's a good square deal... right???!!!

Get her a 3 carat ring and she'll do anything.

How long does it take to set all the complications on a sky moon tourbillon, if you let it stop?

You´re totally right, it´s a Vacheron Constantin and not a Pateke. I´m surprised noone else noticed that.....
Still love this watch though
