Journalists photographed the watch on the hand of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko during his recent visit to Lithuania, and bloggers identified its brand. Patek Philippe watches are made in a classic style and are very expensive.
Photos of the watch of the chairman of the Belarusian state were published on the blog of photographer Anton Motolko. As blogger malishevsky found out, on Lukashenko’s hand is a Swiss watch Patek Philippe Calatrava 5120j, which costs almost 17 thousand dollars or 11 thousand euros.
Patek Philippe watches are made in a classic style and are very expensive. They are worn by rich people, politicians and heads of state. In particular, V. Putin, Anatoly Chubais and Moscow Mayor Yu. Luzhkov love this brand. However, the Patek Philippe Calatrava model that Lukashenko chose cannot be called very expensive.
Let us note that Lukashenko wears a watch on his right hand, like Russian Prime Minister Putin, such a mystery with a watch. Putin has been loyal to Patek Philippe for many years. Thus, the premiere’s collection, according to media reports, includes a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar watch in white gold for 60 thousand dollars and a Patek Philippe Calatrava for 18 thousand dollars.
Putin also wears a watch from the German company A. Lange & Sohne. His collection includes A. Lange & Sohne 1815 and Tourbograph models. In addition, the prime minister owns an IWC for Laureus chronograph, and he also has a Big Pilot Watch or Die Grosse Flieger Uhr model.
Let us add that Russian President D. Medvedev, before taking up a responsible post, wore a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. When Medvedev was elected the first person of the state, he switched to Breguet Classique, which was more appropriate for his status.
Deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation also consider watches an important indicator of social status and consider it necessary to wear watches costing up to 10-15 thousand dollars. Among the models that were seen in the hands of parliamentarians are Breguet Heritage, Breguet Classique, Rolex, Bvlgari Diagono, Breitling Emergency, Rado Integral, Longines.
By the way, Patriarch of All Rus' Kirill also gives preference to expensive watches. In July, during the Patriarch’s visit to Ukraine, journalists photographed a Breguet watch on his hand, worth from 28 to 36 thousand euros. After the media hype about this, the Patriarch’s subordinates assured that the watch was given to Kirill, and, apparently, he was not at all aware of how much it cost.
American presidents are much more modest in their choice of watches. Thus, US President Barack Obama, for strategic reasons, wears a Jorg Gray 6500 sporty watch, which is made in China and usually sells for about $200. At the beginning of the election campaign, Obama wore a Swiss Tag Heuer worth $1,500, however, on the advice of political advisers, after being elected president, he switched to a more affordable watch model.
Not long ago, the British newspaper The Daily Mail told the story of the origin of Obama's cheap watch. As it turned out, the Secret Service agents who protect Obama bought the watch for the president. They gave the boss a new watch with the Secret Service emblem - exactly the same one they wear on duty.
As the media wrote, B. Clinton, while serving as President of the United States, also wore a Timex Triathlon watch during official events, costing only about $50. Until recently, former US President George W. Bush considered the $50 Timex Indiglo watch to be the best.

Recently, the media discussed Putin’s preferences in choosing a watch in connection with the incident in Tula. Then, during the prime minister’s visit to the arms factory, one of the workers asked to give him something as a souvenir. Putin complained that he had nothing with him, and then the locksmith, without any hesitation, asked to present him with a watch.
As witnesses say, the prime minister’s face showed a clear feeling of regret, but he could not publicly refuse the gift to the locksmith. Having removed a Blancpain watch worth “only” $6,000, the prime minister recalled that he recently, of his own free will, gave a similar one to the son of a shepherd in Tuva. Returning to Moscow, Putin bought himself a watch of the same brand, and now he lost it again in Tula.

Watch of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko
Chronology
Original of this material© malishevsky, 09/28/2009, And another watch of the president. A little cheaper, Photo: RIA Novosti, tut.by, malishevsky
Wow, the president has more than one Patek Philippe Calatrava 5120j, which excited everyone this week. Look at the photo of the RIA Novosti agency - on Lukashenko’s right hand there is also a Patek Philippe.
But these are different hours. The “Vilnius” Patek Philippe Calatrava (photo below) does not have a separate seconds dial at the bottom.
This watch (photo above) has. So this is most likely a Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5119j. The photo, by the way, was taken recently - February 4, 2009. And these watches are even a little cheaper - only $14,268.
In a domestic store, the president looked at something more or less similar to Calatrava Luch Quartz. They cost 31,380 rubles. This is 1.5 thousand times cheaper than Patek Philippe! It looks appropriate. Nenene - there is no need to change for this....
Now let's follow the president's right hand. It seems that when a man first became the head of state, he did not have a watch at all. Here he is pronouncing the oath of the President - his right hand on the Constitution - without a watch. 1994
And here is a meeting with Russian President Boris Yeltsin, 1995. Those in love in an alliance do not watch the clock...
It seems this is the first presidential watch. I'm afraid it looks a lot like the plastic case of some kind of "electronics". Photo from 1996.
However, on the eve of a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin in the same year, Lukashenko changed his watch to a more decent one.
It already looks like a clock. It's a shame I can't tell which ones... Photo from 2000.
Calatrava on the right hand of the President appears somewhere from 2003-4.
