In the watch world, every watch has its special occasion and there are watches for each separate activity in the day. To have a watch for every different activity in the day would be very costly. To get through the day with one watch, the watch must portray different aspects at once. In the list below, we found three of the best luxury sport watches have the aspects of both luxury and sporty looks.

Sports luxury is a popular subgenera in the watchmaking world. Watchmakers could label any oversized solid-gold diver as sports luxe, but the reality is that most of these watches will never see any actual sports time. The watches below are timepieces that could be found both on the court or at dinner.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut

Like the Rolex , the Aquanaut has the winning combo of rubber strap and slender case. Beyond that, the details are very dazzling , an interesting dial and top-notch movement. Beautiful but not delicate. This watch could be taken anywhere from a tennis match to a meeting or even a basketball game.

Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Oysterflex

Similar to the Patek Phillipe, a sporty luxury watch should have a comfortable strap and a slim case. Just looking at this Rolex you can definitely tell it is a pretty comfy timepiece. The slim case profile and Cerachrom bezel are also key attributes in the Yacht-Master’s success as a sports-ready status symbol. RRP $31,650

Hublot Classic Fusion Racing Grey

When thinking about brands that are very sporty, Hublot should come to mind, no doubt about it. Big and bold watches is what Hublot specializes in.  The Classic Fusion line shares this sporty aesthetic and DNA but in a dressier, more refined package. What’s cool about this watch is the rubber backed leather strap which mean you can sweat all you want with no worries. RRP $30,300

Audemars Piguet has continued on their development path and in 2000, while celebrating their 125th anniversary, their first model with Equation of time, sunrise, sunset and perpetual calendar was released.  To this day, Audemars Piguet watches are still meticulously handcrafted and designed by watchmakers.

In the video below, a clip will be showing how a Swiss watch is made & assembled from beginning to end. The video is very eye catching and should be interesting for those who love their wristwatches. This will give you an insight of how all these small mechanical parts come together to form a majestic timepiece like this AP.
