Rare watches – the most valuable watches in the world
Richard Mille, Rolex, Roger Dubuis and Montblanc are watch brands that everyone associates with luxury. This luxury has its price. The Excalibur Quatuor Silicon from the Geneva watch manufacturer Roger Dubuis is currently regarded as the most expensive watch in the world. The 48 millimetre housing is made of silicon. It weighs about half as much as Titanium, but is four times harder. The RM 031 High Performance by Richard Mille ranks second among the most expensive watches in the world – it was sold for 800,000 Euros. The model is limited to ten pieces and has the “smoothest gait in the world”. One of the most famous watches in the world is the Vacheron Constatin New Traditionnelle. This is made of platinum and displays all 37 time zones of the world. The world map is mounted on a metal dial framed by a sapphire disc. Lovers rave about the Montblanc Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Chronographe – the first timepiece in the Montblanc Villeret collection to combine the chronograph function with the tourbillon.

Determine the value of watches yourself – our recommendation
Anyone who has found a watch or watch collection can look up its value. We recommend the book “Klassische Armbanduhren: The “Grand Prize Guide” by Peter Braun and Stefan Commertz. The watch catalogue comes from the specialized company “Classic Data”, which deals with classic cars and also monitors the watch market.
- Classic wristwatches: The big price guide, lists a hundred watches, sorted alphabetically by manufacturer.
The prices contained in the book are taken from a specially created database. The estimates of the watches correspond to the offers and auctions of renowned specialist dealers. The book lists several hundred watches in alphabetical order of manufacturers. The book is not final, but includes the classics among the watches. Especially those to which collectors attach importance. Each watch is listed with a brief description of the associated brand, including details of its headquarters, year of foundation and any specialisation in techniques. The clocks are displayed with pictures and descriptions – the quality of the pictures is very high.
