That is the Fenice High-Jewelry watch by Bvlgari (or Bulgari) - an Italian luxury jewelry and watch brand founded in 1884 - priced at more than 80 billion VND when converted to Vietnamese currency.
At first glance, this watch is designed to look like a phoenix, which Bvlgari says uses a mythical animal to celebrate eternity.
Fenice High-Jewelry was crafted after more than 3,000 hours of labor with more than 160 carats of beautiful gemstones, including: blue, pink and purple sapphires, amethysts, rubies... and of course, diamonds.

This Bvlgari watch is a nominee in the Jewellery category for timepieces that demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship in the art of jewelry making and gem setting, and stand out for their choice of gemstones.
The nominee in the same category is the Laguna High-Jewelry by Chopard. The piece is made of 18-carat rose gold, white gold and titanium and features pink, purple and pastel blue sapphires (totaling 10 carats), topaz (4.28 carats), natural pearls (1.63 carats), emeralds (1.47 carats), diamonds (1.28 carats) and purple garnets…

It took more than 1,000 hours to make this elaborate watch. The product was just introduced to the market in July 2024, with a selling price of more than 22.5 billion VND.
Chopard is one of the famous Swiss watch and jewelry brands. It is considered one of the rare brands that still maintains the in-house tradition (self-design, development, and manufacturing of machines) without being caught up in the cycle of industrialization.
Another interesting product is the Monaco Split-Seconds watch from TAG Heuer - a Swiss watch manufacturer, founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer.

This is considered a modern version of the iconic Monaco watch from 1969. Monaco Split-Seconds weighs only 85 grams, but is designed extremely sophisticated and unique from the combination of titanium and sapphire.
TAG Heuer products competing in the Chronograph category are mechanical watches with at least one stopwatch indicator. This watch costs nearly 4 billion VND.
Besides, there are many other billion-dollar watch models being displayed at the exhibition at Ho Chi Minh City Theater (District 1).
