Race cars are known as big-boy toys, so are luxury watches. We’ve always known how our Princess loves racing as a sport. She looks like she’s having a blast at the Grand Prix in Monaco every year, she waved the French tricolore to signal the start of the 24 Le Mans race in France last year, and she’s been to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for the second time in December. That December appearance seems to have revealed that the Princess of Monaco has invaded the world of luxury watches as well.
On her wrist rested (see what I did there?) a Richard Mille 07-01 Automatic watch in white ceramic and rose gold with red jasper & diamond set dial. Richard Mille is one of the most exclusive watch brands in the world. And this watch is estimated at $120,000 to 140,000. I even found one for sale on Joma Shop for $141,545 which you can buy from HERE.
The watchmaker sponsord the Princess of Monaco Cup in October last year. Which could indicate that this watch might have been a loan or a gift. Princess Charlene has another white watch that she wore in 2014 on a visit to Calardés in France. The maker of that watch is unknown.
Princess Charlene has worn a selection of watches over the years from many different jewellers and watchmakers. This may not even be the most expensive watch she’s worn. We’ll take a look at all her watches later.
