Porsche is looking to help five lucky families celebrate the holiday season this year. The German automaker’s lifestyle accessory division, Porsche Design, has come up with what has to be the world’s costliest advent calendar. Instead of an array of tasty chocolates stashed in a cardboard calendar, the company has built an aluminum tower nearly six-feet tall. There are unique Porsche Design gifts designed to correspond with each day in the run up to Christmas, including niceties like a P’6910 mechanical stopwatch, a full P’7340 kitchen and, probably most impressively, an RFF28 “motor yacht” with a single 525-horsepower Mercury engine. Quite how they get the last two items to fit in the tower, we’re not entirely sure.

The rest of the days are marked by goodies like Porsche Design cuff links, pens and sunglasses dipped in 18-karat yellow gold. The price for all of this finery? A cool one $1 million, but with only five of the calendars being created, we’re guessing that they’ll have a shot at selling them all. If you’ve got the funds and nothing better to spend it on, Porsche says you can request your own calendar at any Porsche Design store. Hit the jump to read the full press release.
