3. Patek Philippe Henry Graves Supercomplication – $24 Million
Made for American banker Henry Graves Jr., this is the most expensive pocket watch created by Patek Philippe. This 18-carat gold watch features a minute repeater with Westminster chimes, a celestial chart, sunset and sunrise times, as well as 24 complications. The celestial chart on this watch was modeled after the night sky in New York where Graves had his residence. Apparently, Graves commissioned the Supercomplication to outdo his rival in the watch-collecting world, automobile manufacturer James Ward Packard. The watch took world-best creation and was delivered to Graves eight years after its commission! After passing down the Graves family, the Sotheby’s November 2014 auction sold the Supercomplication to an anonymous buyer.
