Most Luxurious Watches for Him

Luxury timepieces might cost a small fortune, but they last a lifetime or until your taste changes. Today we’re going to feature some of the most exquisite men’s watches on the planet. Of course, luxury is in the eye of the beholder – but we selected an assortment of some of the most popular from a few of our famous timepiece designers and manufacturers.

Of course, many of these are made in Switzerland – the land of precision and craftsmanship. So not only are they elegant, sophisticated and classy – they are also top-of-the-line timekeepers, as well.  The super luxury watches include even more engineering like the tourbillon and chronograph watches, but none are as complicated to work as they can be to read.

The collections that the watchmakers come up with are extraordinary and are becoming more and more unique from the watches of years gone by. They are more high-tech, bejeweled and expensive – which is interesting in light of cell phones and digital clocks everywhere. Few really need a wristwatch, but they have become such a standard icon for men of substance, it’s clear the industry continues to grow and expand. Now that women’s luxury wristwatches are also being offered in so many styles, including high jewelry, the choices for everyone have become more plentiful and unique.

Here are our top five favorite luxury watches for men. These decadent temptations were selected just for you, our readers, and may change as the year goes on. After all, these manufacturers continue to push the limits and create new collections every day.

1. Audemars Piguet Collection

This is one of the most pricey and flashy timepieces ever made for men. Occasionally you will find it on sale for $1.2 million, which is a great price for a watch that has an 18-carat white gold case, a fixed bezel set with diamonds and diamond pave dial with skeleton hands. It has 590 baguette-cut diamonds that total 55.75 ctw.  Price $1.4 Million

2. TAG Heuer – Monaco Collection

This men’s Monaco V4 is the most expensive watch TAG Heuer has designed to date. This is the latest technology and is actually belt-driven. It almost looks like an old fashioned reel-to-reel tape recorder. It was made as a limited edition of 150. The V4 part of the model’s name is supposed to make the wearer think of a car engine, just like “the belts” of the mechanism. The designer’s intention is to associate the timepiece with power, which it has with over 50 hours on reserve. Price: $80,000

3. Hublot – Big Bang Collection

The Hublot name is synonymous with luxury and the Big Bang collection is considered to be one of the most fun, yet elegant, collections. This particular Big Bang is set with 194 diamonds weighing in at 0.82 carats. Its glitzy glam and will take just the right occasion or man to wear it. It comes with a white-lined rubber strap which pretty much keeps it as sporty as diamonds can get.  The dial comes in your choice of white or black. Price: $27,999

4. Patek Philippe Gondolo Collection

Patek Philippe has been one of the most well-known Swiss watchmaking companies since it was founded in the mid-1880s. This particular model is from the Gondolo collection, which is refined and elegant with its 18-carat gold case and bezel. This is one of the finest men’s watches that includes a manual winding mechanism versus automatic, as it is the preference of many. Price: $19,500

5. Rolex – Datejust Collection

Rolex will always be considered a luxurious brand for both men and women. This Rolex Datejust 2-Tone Jubilee Diamond watch is one of our favorite men’s luxury watches, even though it is not the most expensive. Its both classy and opulent. We love the Goldust Dream dials that set off the entire design and makes it look twice as expensive. Price: $13,920
