What is the rarest watch?
What the rarest watch is varies due to the changes in the market that occur over time. However, many luxury watches are rare due to limited production. Examples include the Rolex 4133 “Split-Seconds,” the Patek Philippe 3974, the Patek Philippe Ref. 1518 in steel, the Bao Dai Rolex Ref. 6062 and the Vacheron Constantin Chronometre Royal Ref. 4907.
