Just went to my AD and he showed me a $650,000 watch! (no, not the GMT Ice)

I went to my AD today to check out the new Datejust "Special Edition" for my wife. Looks awesome, but the dial is a little busy. She prefers a white MOP dial.







Then the SA asked if I wanted to see what a $650,000 looks like....of course I said heck yes!




It's the Girard Perregaux 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon. First off, I told him I have no idea what brand that is. Then I asked him what's so special about it. He explained that it has a Jackpot you can play on the watch. There's a handle on the right side like a slot machine that you pull. The slot spins just like a real slot machine very smoothly. It's a mechanical marvel, but at $650K? I don't know . I enjoyed the experience and found it very interesting and thought I share it with you guys.
