The most expensive wristwatch ever auctioned is this bespoke Patek Philippe watch, which went under the hammer for an enormous $31 million (£24.9m) in November 2019 at a charity auction in Geneva. Completely one of a kind, the Grandmaster Chime watch has a black dial and a rose gold dial that can be flipped.
