Some watches cost up to six figures, and are worn on special occasions by the rich and famous.

Luxury Watches date way back to the mid 1900's. Ever since there has been people making a lot of money and people that consider themselves upper class society, there has been extravagant watches. The Platinum World Time watch made in 1939 sold for a little over four million dollars, which was quite the amount back then. The 1953 Model 2523 Heures Universelles sold for almost three million dollars and was 18 carat gold. Now the most popular brands include Cartier, Rolex, Guicci, Movado and Omega.
