The timepiece, which went missing from a luxury villa in Ibiza, features miniature sculptures of his interpretations of the Monopoly Man and Scrooge McDuck.
The 18-carat rose gold watch — called the Astronomia Alec Monopoly and made in collaboration with Jacob and Co — also boasts a spinning globe, crystal disco ball, skeletonised dial, tiny working clock and a black leather strap.
Social media images show Monopoly, real name Alec Andon, wearing it at various events around the globe.
Other items he reported missing from the villa in Santa Eulàlia were a Hermès purse and a wallet containing cash.
New Yorker Monopoly, 38, was performing as a DJ on the island at the time.
A source said only nine of the watches were made.
They added: “The watch has been appraised at £1million. Imagine wearing that on your wrist. It’s going to be impossible to sell. The more unique these things are, the more difficult to offload.”
It was reported missing on June 13.
A Civil Guard spokesman said: “Investigators are still working on this case.”
Art recovery experts are also helping.
Monopoly has sold art to stars including Snoop Dogg, Seth Rogan and Iggy Azalea.
In 2015, he painted a Hermes bag for Khloe Kardashian, valued at £20,000.
