Here are my choices (based on retail prices which I recall)


Combo 1:
Omega SM300 in titanium (12k)
Lange Saxonnia (25k)
GO Seventies Chrono (13k)

Combo 2:
Rolex Airking (10-14k)
JLC Reverso Duoface (18k)
Breguet Type XXI (15k)

Combo 3:
Omega SM PO Ultradeep Titanium (12k)
Tag Heuer Autuvia Flyback in DLC (14k)
Chopard LUC dresswatch in SS (18k)
Tudor BB Harrods Edition (5-7k)

Combo 4:
GP Laureato 42mm (14k)
Rolex cellini moonphase (36-40k)

Combo 5:
Blancpain FF chrono (16k)
Chopard Alpine Eagle 8 Hertz (25k)
JLC MUT in SS (9k)

The market is crazy these few years. Best time was 12-15 years ago when 50k could get a beautiful collection which included a PP Nautilus or AP ROO chrono. Now there are countless pieces which became unobtainable from the 1st hand market at retail.

Unless you are 100% sure of what you want I personally (for me I mean) I would not buy only one watch for that amount because no matter how much I love a watch, I always get tired of wearing the same thing at one point. So a minimum of two for me. Then if... 

Excellent advice
