Patek Philippe x Tiffany co-branded watch series adds a different color to PP watches

The biggest topic in the watch industry in 2021, I believe watch fans will know, is the limited edition Nautilus 5711/1A-018 launched by Patek Philippe (PP) and Tiffany & Co. to celebrate 170 years of cooperation.

The first limited edition was publicly auctioned at Phillips Auction House in the United States on December 11. The starting price of the watch was US$50,000, and it was finally sold at an astonishing record of US$5.35 million, far higher than everyone expected. All proceeds will be donated to The Nature Conservancy for the protection of biological species. Why did this watch cause a rush of purchases among the rich and famous?

The biggest feature of this watch is that in addition to the dial having the Tiffany logo and Tiffany Blue color, the words “1851-2021 170th Anniversary” are printed on the sapphire crystal glass bottom cover at the back. It is limited to 170 pieces worldwide, which is definitely commemorative! According to the past, PP watches with the Tiffany logo will become very precious.

In addition, after the official announcement of the discontinuation of Patek Philippe 5711 in January 2021, the PP 5711, which was already in short supply, was hyped up several times in the second-hand market. It can be seen that it is absolutely no problem for this Tiffany Blue PP Nautilus to become the king of watches.

In addition to this limited edition Tiffany x Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, the watches that Tiffany and PP collaborated on are of course loved and collected by a large number of watch fans, and there is a certain demand in the second-hand market. For example, the PP 5150 annual calendar watch in 2001, the 5396G annual calendar watch special edition launched in 2008 to celebrate the opening of Patek Philippe’s first specialty store in the United States in Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue flagship store, etc., are all popular at auctions. The following editor has selected several joint limited edition watches that Patek Philippe has made for Tiffany.
