The most expensive pocket watch

After a lapse of eight years, he still became the owner of the most complicated pocket watches, ever made by the hands of a man. Among the 24 complex chronometer functions, there were: a perpetual calendar, a moon phase counter, a large power reserve and the night sky of New York. In 1999, watches were sold at Sotheby's auction for $ 11 million, thus breaking the record and becoming the most expensive pocket watch in history. Next month, it is planned to hold an auction on which these watches are exhibited. Their pre-sale value is $ 17 million. So you can expect a new record.
