Although The Thrifty Gentleman focuses on the world of affordable timepieces, today we ask ourselves the question - why is it that some luxury timepieces are valued so highly?! Take Breguet Grande Complication Marie-Antoinette, for instance. Considered the world's priciest luxury timepiece, the vintage watch is the brainchild of iconic horologist Abraham-Louis Breguet. The rumor has it that it was commissioned by Marie-Antoinette's secret lover in the early 1780s. And it could be yours if you've got a cool ?25 million to spare.
