Time is money: €349,000 watch sells at Cork Jeweller

One stylish Irishman will be winding forward a very special watch this weekend — one costing almost twice as much as an average house.

The watch was sold for a staggering €349,000 at Keane’s Jewellers in Cork and will remain in store until it is collected later this week.

The timepiece is a Patek Philippe Grand Complication Celestial watch — known simply as “The Celestial”.
