Hi All!

Here You Go - Vacheron Constantin!


http://www.gemnation.com/watches/Vacher ... -1177.html

I guess to some lucky seven individuals this is the "Mother Of All Grails".

Best Regards,

Enezdez

Only problem is, you spend $2.6 million and then find out that you have been ripped off and don't in fact own the world's most complicated wristwatch........

And it would only have costed you $100k more!

A colleague has the Vacheron skelleton tourbillion thingy. Spent a fortune on it, never wears it, spends 99% of the time in a safe.

But hey when you can... :bow:

Yeah I'm still looking for the WG version to complete the set of 4 :wink:

Seriously, that is an amazing piece, there are watches with more complications now but I still think that it has the record for number of pieces in the movement.

Very, Very Nice ! 8)

What do they go for in USD terms?

As for me I still love the Vacheron Constantin from the choices illustrated on this thread! :drool:

Roff or for that matter can anyone else show me anything nicer or cooler?

I know this is all subjected not objected view points but still is there anything nicer or better out there? :lol:

Best Regards,

Enezdez

I prefer the JLC Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie:

In terms of the PP 89, one sold last year for just over $5 million.

I have an OMEGA was bought on August 14 1970. I do have the original paperworks. It's mechanical hand wound. But it does not cost 2.6 million.

THe history of it is worth morethan 10 million. What can you say Vacheron Constantin.
