I was lucky enough to find myself in this position a while ago and purchased a Platinum Daytona with diamond dial.No regrets.

Wow. Not bad at all.Originally Posted by bobdog
Very nice. This is what makes the Tudor currently on the SC so attractive. OP, could you confirm the bracelet ref. on this please, as I have the same Tudor and would love an Oyster bracelet.Lucky enough to buy this a few years ago before they reached the giddy heights of £50k+ but it would still be my goto luxury wearer.

I have, but I wouldn't drop it on a watch!

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Thank you. I’ll need to look out for a 20mm version.

A Ulysse Nardin Freak in yellow gold or a Laurent Ferrier Galet micro rotor.... Or a Voutilainen.... Or an Fp Journe.
Actually a good thing I don't have 50k to spend on a watch...
There’s easily been 50k of great watches on SC in the last week, you could fill your boots with some stunners.
^^^^This
Anyone dropping £50k on a stainless steel watch clearly has Rocks in their heads..

Not sure of the price today, but Mr Voutilainen makes a very special watch don't you think. The Vingt-8 used to be about £50k.

Sold - but this one looks rather interesting...

traveller blue dial
Maybe a platinum Urban Jurgensen
If there was change, put it in the fundraiser
DSSD Blue, Norton Dominator and AC Cobra would work for me. 3 for the price of 1!
The ALS Zeitwerk has been mentioned a few times but if you were seriously consider one, I would urge a measure of caution. Obviously you would buy grey or used because market prices are so much lower than list price but if you then were to need a service, at a minimum of 5000 Euros!!! Personally, I wouldn’t touch one with a stick.
>10% of the value of a watch in service charge is quite usual. It's also a pretty phenomenally complicated watch!
It's important to note the nature of this thread though - it's if you had 50k to spend on one watch. That's a pretty high bar! For me to spend that amount on a watch, I'd already have to have a ludicrous amount of surplus cash. In which case, 5k for a service would likely seem really quite reasonable.

First watch that popped into my mind when I seen the question, all these new dressy/moonphase complications are not for me, £50K on one classic vintage watch is where I'm at.Lucky enough to buy this a few years ago before they reached the giddy heights of £50k+ but it would still be my goto luxury wearer.

Seems I'm surprisingly cheap, but then no surprises to those that know me!!! :0)
LeCoultre is my fav and even at this price I'll only ever get one if the lottery comes in or someone buys one for me (hint, hint!!!)
If I was spending £50k on a timepiece it would be a simple, three-hander VDO, complete in its original early '70s setting, courtesy of Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche.
Tell that to those that bought Newman Daytona's, Milsubs or full set Comex SDs etc. at that sort of money.

I think I’d go for an AP 15407ST or a Patek 5172G.
As I have an AP15400 already the Patek may win though.

That Daytona is the pick of the watches on this thread. (Well, in my humble opinion).
Rexhep Chronomtre Conteporain for me
This would be my 50k pick.... The Gronefeld 1941 REMONTOIRE Eight Seconds Constant Force. In white gold.... Almost 51k Euros... Although taxes have to on top of that, so I'll take it in steel if I have to! (Theoretically of course)

Maybe one of Jo Siffert's Autavias. Most of the stuff on this thread looks like it's been hit with the ugly stick.

A minty Floating Gold Zenith Daytona. The rest on a set of new carpets for the Porsche.

I don’t know what’s wrong with half the people on this tread. Aim for the stars boys and girls, surely it’s OK to dream about having a good few grand to throw on a watch if your numbers come up??
Very easy one for me this is something I think about a fair bit. It would be a Patek Philippe 3940, probably in rose gold. To my eye, pretty much the most perfectly proportioned watch there is.
Oh, and a decent winder, and an old Datejust as a beater.

That reminds me of the 5940r, which tho discontinued could be had for around that, it seems. Yes please. 8.6mm of perpetual calendar.

Its a difficult one. 5K on a service is ridiculously high. But the watch is DAMN complicated. Its basically a remontoir d’egalité with 4 jumping digital displays, including a minute digital display. And all that with legendary movement finishing. Its actually "reasonable" from that perspective....
Rolex Cosmograph DaytonaI’m just dreaming, but IF you had fifty big ones to drop on just one watch (I don’t want to hear about buy a Casio and stash the readies in the bank), what would you buy? Just one watch and you have £50,000 to spend..
I’m off to scower the Patek pages - but what would you suggest?
I'd go all out and get a Richard Mille RM028 - you can pick them up around £50k on Chrono24. If I had some cash left over, I'd spend it on wrist enlargement surgery...

ALS 1815 Chrono
If we're talking a couple years from now..most probably a beaten up 16610 :)...

Can't believe Skyman hasn't rocked up saying "I have £50k...."
Datograph Up/Down would be my choice.
