Most complicated watch

Thought it was a cool read about the Patek that is the most complicated watch.
For the small sum of 5 million one could be yours

Good stuff, I wonder how much that cost to service, unless these are locked up in a safe somewhere.

I wonder if they have one on display in Geneva. We shall see tomorrow. I'm like a kid that is going to zoo for the first time.

I guess that's because it's a pocket watch. Still, with all that going on I suppose should you forget to wind it at bed time and find it not running in the morning you'd probably have to take a sick day to set the thing.

Now that's a cool pocket watch but you might need to hire an armed security guard just to walk around with it...can you imagine what the insurance would cost for such a watch!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

In addition, it's a pocket watch. But you need a really big pocket to hold the thing. I've got better things to dream about with the $5MM I don't have lying around.

Now I've heard through sources that this is just chicken feed for you especially if we consider your off shore accounts!!! LOL!!!

Your TRF pension fund should have close to that amount.

It's the size of a hockey puck and weighs 2.5 pounds.

The world's most complicated and cumbersome timepiece/paperweight.

An interesting piece. I'm curious how big the manual is for it.

White gold, yellow gold, rose gold and platinum?!

I think I'll hold out for a stainless steel version.
