9. Patek Philippe Complications Platinum 5961P
Patek Philippe is the last family-owned independent watch manufacturer in Geneva. This is probably the main reason behind their freedom in creating 80 patents of watch since 1839.
Some experts think that Patek Philippe watches are the finest in the world. Some luxury watch enthusiasts agree. And one particular man bought this watch at an auction, making it the most expensive watch sold ever.
Among those 80 patents, the Patek Philippe Complications Platinum 5961P is arguably the most popular among watch enthusiasts. Its mechanical self-winding movement, water resistant feature, hand-stitched alligator skin strap, and its sapphire-crystal case back are among the reasons why they are willing to spend around $130,000 for this luxury watch.
Patek Philippe sits on 8th rank in terms of global watch sales with 3% market share. That means there have been around 36 million pieces of Patek Philippe watch sold in just a year. In addition to that, the brand also sits on 8th rank of bestselling watch according to 2015 Worldwide Watch Sales report.
