Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile

$1.6 million

Touted as the world's most complex watch every made, Vacheron Costantin's Tour de l'Ile was designed in 2005 as 250th anniversary collectible piece. This 834-part watch took over 10,000 man-hours to create and features an 18-carat silvered gold dial with a hand-sewn alligator leather band and pink gold buckle.

I went a little over budget this week by eating out at a Mexican restaurant today for lunch. Otherwise I would have probably had the funds for it. Oh well, maybe next time.

Pretty amazing to think about a watch selling for that much money. I'm with you. I guess I'll have to stick with my "trailer park" Rolex.

Musta been one hell of a tip at the mexkin joint!! ;)

Insane. But, in the end, it is all relative. If you are worth $5 billion, what's a million on a watch? Why the hell not, ya know?

I, personally, could never justify anything over $10k. Honestly, even that is kinda "insane" but I understand, and that's all that counts.

$1.6 Mil on a leather strap!? Give me a break! Besides, I saw one on E-bay for $750K.

I don't think anyone's Rolex should be classed "trailer park" . Why would you be embaressed with a Rolex ?

Ray in Kingwood · 29 August 2007, 11:47 AM

If they make one in platinum would this one be the bottom of the barrel?

BiG JeEzY · 29 August 2007, 06:33 PM

That watch looks pretty complex.

Its like I can get stuck on an island with that watch and still not be able to learn how to use all the features it has. And when I finally do learn how to use them, I probably wouldve been rescued a long time ago.

Now that is as cheap as chips! I'll have four of those watches!

But to be frank, IMO it looks like sh**

Give me classic Rolex! You don't need any more watch than Rolex!
