The Graves Supercomplication is an 18-karat gold pocket watch made by Patek Philippe for banker Henry Graves Jr. in 1933 and sold to an undisclosed buyer for USD$11 million in 1999 at Sotheby's. It was a record price for any timepiece at auction.

The piece is now up for sale. A Qatari Sheikh, identified as the owner, is hawking the piece to pay his bills.

Poor guy....the things a Sheikh has gotta do to pay the bills. Must be tough.

So....who's gonna join me at the auction?
