The work on this intricately designed watch was started by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1782 but he passed on even before completing it. Fortunately, continued by his son, who finished the work in 1827, four years after the older Breguet’s death. The executed queen did not live to long enough to see the master piece which was enclosed in gold and where sapphire was used.

These include an internally flawless 15.37-carat naturally Fancy Pink, naturally Fancy Blue that has 12.79 carats and 3 pearl-shaped diamonds at 8.45 carats collectively.

The display is so small but no one will miss the diamonds almost eating up the face of the watch. Price tag is $25,000,000.
