At that price its got to have a tourbillon, though when you start looking at tourbillons, £50K doesn't go very far!

One of these two perhaps. Both Uysse Nardin.

It would be a tough decision for me (not that I'm in the market for watches in this price range)! The first watch is undoubtedly better looking, but I think with the second watch, I would spend more time marvelling at the gubbins at work.

Overpriced at the moment, often available for £4.99. One of these and £49,995.01 in change.

I love Ressence watches. Fantastic design and about GBP30K.

This is the Type 3

I agree, this would be my choice too.

I first spotted them on Mr Porter and they're unlike anything else.

As long as it gives me the time with reasonable accuracy I don't really care. I've never seen the point of spending thousands on a watch that (a) hardly anybody else will see and (b) makes you look like a complete ____ when you have to explain to someone why your watch cost more than a decent car.

Probably a Breitling for Bentley Chronograph for me. And pocket the remaining £25k smile

Often more than 'just' a watch though.

Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller Globe - easiest to use Travel Time watch I have seen, superlative micro-rotor movement, finished off with a cloissone enamel dial easily a rival to the Patek 5131

Or a Lanhe and Sohne Richard Lange Pour le Merite - a time only watch with a fusee chain movement and three-piece enamel dial (this is out of budget but they have just released a black dial version (NOT enamel) which is but I think the enamel dial does make the piece).

A little more than the budget, but worth it I think...
