Watch Brands With the Most Record Auction Sales

About This Dataset

Watch Brands With the Most Record Auction Sales
How the most expensive watches ever auctioned are divided between manufacturers. This counts pieces on the record list, not sales value, so a brand that places many watches in the list can rank above one that holds the single highest price.
