友情提醒：如下文涉及到金額引起強烈不適，
請原地深呼吸，順便學下與手錶有關的英文哦
Like a handbag or shoes,
you have to have the right watch for the job
and when you have an endless supply of money, which watch do you buy?
Well let your worries disappear
all you oil barons and celebrities,
below is a list of 5
of the word’s most expensive watches.
就像手袋或鞋子一樣，
你必須要有塊適合工作的手錶，
當你有源源不斷的錢時，
你會買哪隻手錶?
好吧，所有的石油大亨和名人們，
讓你們的擔憂消失吧，
（小編呈上）5款世界上最昂貴的手錶觀賞
（有錢人的世界我不懂）
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.
這個列表不包括懷錶，或系列手錶。
在出售或拍賣中的，而且價格不菲。
所以，廢話少說，開始！
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.
讓我們從最便宜的開始吧，雖然這款的價格也超出我們的預想，它是百達翡麗5004T。名字中的T代表鈦，這款百達翡麗手錶絕對是獨一無二的。鈦合金款是5004系列中唯一的一種，該系列現已停產。不過這隻表很漂亮;時尚，而且通常是最引人注目的。這款手錶有一個12小時的分時秒錶，一個萬年曆和一個月相指示器，所有這些都鑲嵌在一個漂亮的方格臉和尖腕手錶。這款手錶為2013年唯一拍賣手錶，一經拍賣便被搶購一空。
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.
排名第四的是百達翡麗·菲利普的“白金世界時間”，這款獨一無二的鐘表是1939年Patek Phillippe 事件系列的一部分。在2002年的拍賣會上，這款腕錶以400萬美元的價格成為世界上最昂貴的腕錶，但此後又被其他許多腕錶超越。這是一款令人印象深刻的工具，手錶自動上發條，無論在世界上的哪個地方都能找到時間，而且擁有非常時尚的藍、綠、沙三色地圖表盤。
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，也就是中等價位的，是Helot的“大樂隊”，這款手錶之所以價格如此之高，是因為它有一個主要的發光原因(或1280個)——鑽石。這塊表總共有1280顆3克拉的鑽石。每顆鑽石都是由經驗豐富的紐約著名珠寶商切割的，以確保每顆可愛的鑽石都是一樣的。它花了整整一年的時間在世界各地尋找這些石頭，但是標價500萬美元，為什麼不呢?沒有多餘的費用!這隻手錶的主人是唯一的，那就是從碧昂斯那裡收到的作為43歲生日禮物的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達翡麗·菲利普，這是第三個入圍的，這次是Ref1518系列。百達翡麗(Patek)是高端計時產品的重量級品牌之一，你可以在這個榜單上看到它們甚至出現了3次!這款手錶的奇怪之處在於，它的錶殼是不鏽鋼的，而不是純金的，而且它是迄今為止僅有的4款錶殼中的第一款，當然，這款錶殼的價格標籤會讓人感到刺痛。
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.
最後，我們來到最昂貴的手錶，蕭邦的201克拉傑作。這塊表在我看來太過分了。這顆璀璨的鑽石含有874顆稀有鑽石，2000年以2500萬美元的價格售出。這件作品的外皮太厚，以至於它超越了俗氣的界限，除非你真正專注，否則你永遠不會看到每一顆寶石。這款腕錶包括3顆心形鑽石，分別為花式粉色和藍色，以及D色(重量從11克拉到15克拉不等)，26顆梨形鑽石，總重量為17.07克拉，443顆FC鑽石，重量僅為4.95克拉。這個造型被設計成代表一朵花…我能看到它，但是你必須確保你在光線下，否則你會失明。
看到這，小編已做了5次深呼吸外加10次冒冷汗，不過手錶確實代表著質感和地位，特別是成熟男士和商務精英，更是以佩戴名錶為品味和品質的象徵，送男友送父親都是很不錯的選擇哦，不說了，小編滾去賺錢了~
