How to read this ranking
A published price tag, a launch price and an auction result describe different things. The Graff figures and Jacob & Co. launch figures are reported historical asking or launch prices; the Patek Philippe, Rolex and F.P. Journe auction figures are realized sale results. They are shown together because they are the strongest documented public USD amounts found for these watches—not as a like-for-like comparison of current market value. No entry should be read as a current resale quote.
USD-to-INR conversion note
INR equivalents use ₹95.9927 per US$1 — FBIL reference rate, Oct 1, 2026, as at 1.00pm, published in the Reserve Bank of India homepage Exchange Rates box (Source: FBIL). Approximate INR equivalents are rounded to the nearest ₹0.1 crore. This is a dated conversion reference, not the exchange rate on each historical launch or auction date.
Sources and price availability
Each listed USD figure links to the publication or auction result used for that row. Figures that could not be verified from a reliable public source are not assigned a number; they should be labeled “price on request” rather than estimated.
