Omega Prototype Tourbillon (US$1,434,642) The star of the show, however, was Omega's Prototype Tourbillon from 1947. The super-rare steel cased complication sold for US$1,434,642 after a 20-minute bidding frenzy, making it the most expensive Omega watch ever to be sold at an auction. The unearthing of the rare and pioneering tourbillon wristwatch from a brand that rarely features the complication in its repertoire further adds to Phillips’ now-gilded reputation as the go-to auction house for vintage timekeeping treasures.
