31 million dollars for a Swiss watch

The Grandmaster Chime, the Swiss luxury brand Patek Philippe, moved at an auction of the auction house Christie's in Geneva for $ 31 million to the owner. This is the highest sale price ever achieved for a wristwatch.

The "only one", as the watch is called, has been specially made for the auction last Saturday. Its dial is made of 18-carat Gold; the bracelet is made of hand-sewn black alligator leather. The proceeds of the auction will be donated to the research of the muscular hereditary disease of muscular dystrophy.

It was a gift to his wife, Joanne Woodward, and contained the inscription "Drive Carefully Me" on the back of the dial. In 2017, the Rolex for more than 17.7 million dollars was sold at auction in New York.
