Brad buys Angelina one of world's most expensive watches as wedding gift

Most ladies are happy with the ring, but Brad Pitt's found it necessary to also fork over €260k for "one of the world's most expensive watches" as "a wedding present" for humanitarian Angelina Jolie.

Pitt reportedly bought a luxurious Patek Philippe Minute Repeater, which normally has a two-year waiting list. The custom-made timepiece is gold with a mother of pearl dial and takes two months to make. Each one is checked by a member of the Stern family - who own Patek Philippe - at the firm's HQ in Geneva, Switzerland. All very interesting.

A source told The Sun: "Brad decided to buy one of the amazing watches after meeting the Stern family at a watch fair in Basel. He wanted to buy Ange a unique gift that very few people own which is like a piece of art - and the highly sophisticated watch is just that."

So what makes it so sophisticated: "It chimes sounds based on Big Ben." There's nothing classier than a bong.

Apparently Brad went to Geneva to pick it up and it's believed "he'll present it to Ange as a pre-wedding gift." Oh, hang on, it's only a pre-wedding gift. He's probably buying her Big Ben for her actual wedding day gift.

Brad, 48, got engaged to Angelina, 37, in April and they are expected to marry in a ceremony at their French chateau. They're currently living in Surrey with their six children.

  She seriously needs to eat something. WAY too stick-creature-y.
