Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

Most ultrahigh-end chronographs seek to exude timeless style. Not so this macho, Gerald Genta–designed bad boy from Audemars, which wouldn't have looked out of place on Ryan O'Neal's wrist back in the heyday of Studio 54. (That's an unmitigated compliment, by the way.) Simply put, APs are "really good-looking watches on the wrist," says Edward Faber, who adds that the brand's not too bad at marketing, either. "They have a strategy to support the watches at auction, and restrict production to keep the profile high." Take a look at the Royal Oak, however, and it's clear that there's more to its appeal—both Jay-Z and the Governator are fans—than simple rarity.
