BEST INVESTMENT: PATEK PHILIPPE AQUANAUT For a lot of people, the mere use of the word “investment” around watches is contentious – we don’t buy watches to make money, and you can never count on them to hold their value. So why is this award even here, you might ask? Because despite all that, the market around Patek Philippe Nautilus and Aquanaut models is currently red hot, and if you are able to get your hands on this year’s 5168G, a 42mm white-gold Aquanaut with an automatic movement and a military green rubber strap, you could certainly realise a tidy profit, with examples currently listed for more than double the retail price. If you could bring yourself to part with it, that is: as many of us know, what’s bought as an “investment” can very quickly find a place in your heart. £30,390; patek.com

BEST VALUE: SEIKO PRESAGE ARITA SPB095 Photographs don’t do justice to Seiko’s mid- level Presage range, which appears similar to its cheaper pieces at first glance. Up close, however, the porcelain dial shimmers and shines, and beneath it beats a movement with 70 hours of power; materials and mechanics that aren’t normally found at this price. £1,560; seikowatches.com


MOST OUTRAGEOUS: RICHARD MILLE BONBON When your normal watches are seven-figure creations craſted from sapphire and carbon nanotubes, it takes a lot to raise eyebrows. But a ten-piece range resembling liquorice, marshmallows and candied fruits ought to do it. Priced between £113,500 and £147,000 (cheap by Richard Mille’s standards), they are, needless to say, all sold out. richardmille.com
