Vladimir Putin is obviously doing relatively well financially, and watches are something that he doesn’t mind spending money or showing off. The most expensive watch in his collection is from A. Lange & Söhne and is estimated to be around $500,000. The company describes it as being a “peerless masterpiece”. His entire watch collection is estimated to be around $700,000. Another favorite of his is the white gold watches of Patek Phillipe whose slogan is “You never actually own a Patek Phillipe. You merely look after it for the next generation.” Putin is also known for giving out watches to strangers just because he can and because they have become a symbol of his power.
