Wandered past the Omega shop on the Champs Elysee last night and was admiring some of the finery in the window when I had to do a double-take - a Calibre 8501 for 88,300 Euros!!.
Not really that into watches so am guessing that this must be some kind of limited edition? I bet they don't sell many of those!
Got a pic on my phone but can't upload it out here - will have to wait until I get back tomorrow.

Ah, so the 8501 refers to the movement? Told you I didn't know much about watches
It's not that one - it looks like it has a dial within the dial with some more (smaller) hands.
Can't find it on the Omega website though??
Hehe! The Omega website is: www.omegawatches.comIt's not that one - it looks like it has a dial within the dial with some more (smaller) hands.

You can use the 'watchfinder' feature to narrow down the search to all watches that incorporate the 8501 movement How many dials were on the watch face itself?

Means nothing to me!
Just seems a ridiculous price for a watch.
I was in Galeries Lafayette last week and saw a rather nice Bell & Ross square jobbie but baulked at the €2,100 asking price. Maybe if it had been a bit cheaper.......
Feh, tis but a trifle.Just seems a ridiculous price for a watch.

Look here. Actual expensive watches.

The De Ville Hour Vision 18K has the 8501 calibre, which I believe is very similar to the 8500 calibre, albeit the rotor and bridge are 18K gold ... However the price of 88,000Euros seems a little steep!
ETA: Was it this?
My fave current watch, that. Would be a push for me to afford it even in steel, though.ETA: Was it this?
