I read about the most complicated pocket watch on the world, that took
44 years to be done ! What I wanted to know is the price of the watch
or if it has an estimated price. Because in none of the articles what
I read is a price mentioned, neither an estimated one.I'm just asking
because its value in money could be . . . enormous.

$30M according to this

about halfway on this video it shows the second watch being constructed

but how can you value stuff like this, for the first watch you really
cannot put a value on it, for the history, the number of man hours in
the construction, the whole thing being made without CAD design, every
part hand made.
