Russian President Vladimir Putin Boasts $700,000 Watch Collection

Russian President Vladimir Putin has curated an impressive collection of luxury timepieces totaling $704,835, including pieces by some of the most renowned watchmakers of the world, like Patek Philippe and A. Lange Sohne.

The Haute Minute

Putin’s haute assortment includes a $470,000 A. Lange Sohne Tourbograph with crocodile skin strap; a white gold Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar worth $61,000; and an $11,000 Blancpain Leman Aqua Lung Grande Date.

But the President’s lavish compilation of wrist candy has left many wondering, how did he afford this on his $112,000 salary?
