友情提醒：如下文涉及到金额引起强烈不适，
请原地深呼吸，顺便学下与手表有关的英文哦

Well let your worries disappear
all you oil barons and celebrities,

of the word’s most expensive watches.
就像手袋或鞋子一样，
你必须要有块适合工作的手表，
当你有源源不断的钱时，
你会买哪只手表?
好吧，所有的石油大亨和名人们，
让你们的担忧消失吧，
（小编呈上）5款世界上最昂贵的手表观赏
（有钱人的世界我不懂）
This list doesn’t include pocket watches,
or collections of watches.
These watches also have to have been sold or auctioned and are astronomically priced. So without further ado.
Let’s begin.
这个列表不包括怀表，或系列手表。
在出售或拍卖中的，而且价格不菲。
所以，废话少说，开始！
Patek Philippe 5004T - $3,794,732
We’ll start with the cheapest, but still way beyond our grasp, it’s the Patek Philipe 5004T.The T in the name stands for Titanium, this Patek Phillipe watch is quite literally a one-of-a-kind piece. The titanium option is the only one in the 5004 series, a series which has now been discontinued. This watch is very nice though; sleek, stylish and generally quite the showstopper. This watch has a 12 hour split second Chronograph, a perpetual calendar and a moon phase indicator all embedded in a beautifully checkered face with pointed watch arms. This watch designed for the Only Watch 2013 auction, and was snapped up.
让我们从最便宜的开始吧，虽然这款的价格也超出我们的预想，它是百达翡丽5004T。名字中的T代表钛，这款百达翡丽手表绝对是独一无二的。钛合金款是5004系列中唯一的一种，该系列现已停产。不过这只表很漂亮;时尚，而且通常是最引人注目的。这款手表有一个12小时的分时秒表，一个万年历和一个月相指示器，所有这些都镶嵌在一个漂亮的方格脸和尖腕手表。这款手表为2013年唯一拍卖手表，一经拍卖便被抢购一空。
Patek Philippe Platinum World Time- $4,000,000
Climbing the ladder at fourth place is once again Patek Phillipe’s Platinum World Time. This one-of-a-kind timepiece was created in 1939 as part of the Patek Phillipe Time collection. At the time of auction in 2002, it was actually the world’s most expensive wristwatch fetching $4,000,000 but has since been surpassed by a plethora of others. It’s quite the impressive piece of kit, the watch winds itself and is capable of finding the time regardless of its location in the world and has a very stylish blue, green and sandy map watch face.
排名第四的是百达翡丽·菲利普的“白金世界时间”，这款独一无二的钟表是1939年Patek Phillippe 事件系列的一部分。在2002年的拍卖会上，这款腕表以400万美元的价格成为世界上最昂贵的腕表，但此后又被其他许多腕表超越。这是一款令人印象深刻的工具，手表自动上发条，无论在世界上的哪个地方都能找到时间，而且拥有非常时尚的蓝、绿、沙三色地图表盘。
Hublot Big Band-$5,000,000
At third place_ and half way through the list, Helot’s Big Band. This watch has such a high price for one major glittering reason (or 1280 of them); diamonds. This watch has a total of 1280 3-carat diamonds. Every diamond was cut by an experienced well-known New York jeweler to ensure every cute was the same. It took a whole year to source the stones worldwide but with a price tag of $5,000,000 why not? No expense is spared! The happy owner of this watch is the one and only Jay-Z after receiving it as a 43rd birthday present from Beyoncé.
排名第三的，也就是中等价位的，是Helot的“大乐队”，这款手表之所以价格如此之高，是因为它有一个主要的发光原因(或1280个)——钻石。这块表总共有1280颗3克拉的钻石。每颗钻石都是由经验丰富的纽约著名珠宝商切割的，以确保每颗可爱的钻石都是一样的。它花了整整一年的时间在世界各地寻找这些石头，但是标价500万美元，为什么不呢?没有多余的费用!这只手表的主人是唯一的，那就是从碧昂斯那里收到的作为43岁生日礼物的Jay-Z。
Patek Philippe Ref.1518 -$11,136,642
In second place is Patek Phillipe for the 3rd time, with their Ref 1518. Patek are one of the heavy-hitters when it comes to high-end time pieces, as you can see they even feature 3 times on this list! The strange thing about this particular watch is quite simply that it has a stainless steel casing rather than gold and that it’s the first of only 4 ever made which of course sends the price tag soring.
排名第二的仍然是百达翡丽·菲利普，这是第三个入围的，这次是Ref1518系列。百达翡丽(Patek)是高端计时产品的重量级品牌之一，你可以在这个榜单上看到它们甚至出现了3次!这款手表的奇怪之处在于，它的表壳是不锈钢的，而不是纯金的，而且它是迄今为止仅有的4款表壳中的第一款，当然，这款表壳的价格标签会让人感到刺痛。
Chopard 201-carat watch-$26,000,000
Finally, we’re here at the most expensive watch, with Chopard’s 201-Carat masterpiece. This watch looks, in my opinion way too over the top. This shining glory contains 874 rare diamonds and was sold for $25,000,000 in 2000. This piece is so overly encrusted that it pushes the boundaries of garishness and unless you really focus you’d never see every gem. The watch includes 3 heart shaped diamonds in Fancy Pink and Blue and a D color (all ranging from 11 to 15 carats), 26 pear-shaped diamonds with a total of 17.07 carats and 443 FC diamonds at a mere 4.95 carats. The look is supposedly designed to represent a flower…I can kind of see it but you have to make sure you’re out of the light otherwise you’ll be blinded.
最后，我们来到最昂贵的手表，萧邦的201克拉杰作。这块表在我看来太过分了。这颗璀璨的钻石含有874颗稀有钻石，2000年以2500万美元的价格售出。这件作品的外皮太厚，以至于它超越了俗气的界限，除非你真正专注，否则你永远不会看到每一颗宝石。这款腕表包括3颗心形钻石，分别为花式粉色和蓝色，以及D色(重量从11克拉到15克拉不等)，26颗梨形钻石，总重量为17.07克拉，443颗FC钻石，重量仅为4.95克拉。这个造型被设计成代表一朵花…我能看到它，但是你必须确保你在光线下，否则你会失明。
看到这，小编已做了5次深呼吸外加10次冒冷汗，不过手表确实代表着质感和地位，特别是成熟男士和商务精英，更是以佩戴名表为品味和品质的象征，送男友送父亲都是很不错的选择哦，不说了，小编滚去赚钱了~
