1: Joaillene 101 Manchette
This watch is so expensive and rare I was unable to find a price on it. It is the latest Joallerie 101 series from Jaeger-LeCoultre. It has 576 diamonds surrounding the face of the watch and it is 18 carat white gold. The onyx version of it comes with 400 diamonds and 11 onyx cabochons. This watch looks like a bracelet, but in fact this is a watch that uses the mechanical manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 movement.

There were only 7 of these watches made, as it is the most complex double-faced watch ever made, containing 834 parts.
