With such astronomical prices being reached, and in a lot of cases, the actual design aspect being thrown out the window, has it gone too far? Are these ridiculously expensive watches actually needed? As seen in a couple of the watches shown, the main aim was to stick as many diamonds to a watch as possible, so the price tag went up and up, but should this be the case. Our favorite on the list is actually number 5, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patek.com\/en\/all-models\">Patek Philippe<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/arieladams\/2014\/11\/12\/24000000-patek-philippe-supercomplication-pocket-watch-beats-its-own-record-at-auction\/#7fc720d320dc\">supercomplication<\/a>, which has 24 different horological features, such as\u00a0a perpetual calendar, minute repeater with Westminster Chimes, sunrise and sunset times, and a celestial chart based on the night sky above Graves\u2019 (who the watch was created for) home in New York.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>5 Most Expensive Watches<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our list is formed from both wrist watches and pocket watches, and puts together over $170,000,000 worth of watches!
