Some luxury brands shy away from elite customers and try to remain humble despite earth-shaking price tags. But Hublot isn’t exactly subtle with its style, pushing the technical boundaries of ceramic and sapphire cases that adorn the wrists of some of the world’s biggest athletes, celebrities, and even political leaders. Today we’re taking a look at some of the most spectacular displays of unashamed luxury, along with the top five most expensive Hublot watches I’ve found.
5. Hublot $1 million Big Bang – $1 million
Hublot’s first watch to break the magical $1 million figure was released in 2007, featuring a total of 493 baguette-cut diamonds throughout, and won the GPHG Award for “Best Jewelry Watch.” Jean-Claude Biver revealed in an interview that the watch was sold over the phone without ever showing it to the buyer, demonstrating the power of Hublot as a luxury brand and the attractive price tag for those with the money. proved something. The HUB Solo T movement flaunts a tourbillon at 6 o’clock and features manual winding and a 120-hour power reserve.
4. Hublot Black Caviar Bang – $1 million
Hublot currently has quite a few million dollar watches and they always sell well because having a million dollar watch gives you bragging rights. The average person would be just as shocked by a $1 million watch as a $2 million watch, so there’s a sense of diminishing returns. This is the Hublot Black Caviar Bang, featuring a 531 moody white gold case. Black diamonds adorn the case, bezel, and rubber strap clasp. The dial also features plain diamonds to contrast the power reserve above the tourbillon, keeping it as exclusive as ever.
3. Hublot Big Bang Unico Haute Joyulee Collection – USD 1,000,000
What’s more impressive than a million dollar watch? How about 10? Proving that their ultra-luxury products are no mere one-trick pony, Hublot went all out in 2015 to celebrate the Big Bang’s 10th anniversary with a collection of diamond-set Big Bang UNICO models. Each model takes on a unique look and personality throughout. Spectrum of precious stones. My favorites are the all-red model encrusted with rubies, the white diamond version with jagged, almost cobblestone-cut gemstones, and the two-tone version with regal yellow highlights. Each of these watches retails for $1 million, but can you imagine how much the full set would be worth together?
2. Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon – $3 million
Launched in 2011, this Big Bang Tourbillon came with a hefty price tag of approximately $3 million, or 2 million euros. Even ignoring the diamonds, the dial is beautiful and intricate, which is difficult considering there are 638 diamonds, totaling 142 carats. The baguette cut matches the blockiness of the Hublot Big Bang’s case shape, and the large tourbillon is mirrored, complete with a small hour display at 12 o’clock. The pillars on either side firmly protect the flashy dial and represent Place Vendôme, where Hublot’s Paris flagship boutique is located.
1. Hublot’s $5 million watch – $5 million
Why bother putting a model name on your watch when the price tag says everything you need to know?The most expensive Hublot watch ever made was the 2012 It debuted at Baselworld, and ended up being a present from Beyoncé to Jay-Z for his 43rd birthday.
His stunning opulence is encrusted with 1,282 diamonds of various sizes, forming something like a sunburst dial and a criss-cross pattern flowing across the dial and around the diamond-set bracelet. I’m doing it. The case is, you guessed it, white gold, and it is said that this unique piece alone took 14 months to create.
