About this puzzle
At the very top of the watch-collecting world, a single timepiece can outprice a small office building - and the buyers are often anonymous. This puzzle ranks the five most expensive watches ever sold at auction, and the list mixes movie-star provenance with pocket watches older than television. The number one spot has held for years, but a 2025 sale came within about $121,000 of taking a record nobody thought was reachable.
