The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, a stainless steel watch that has been a popular choice among watch enthusiasts since its release in 2006, will retire next year. The news sparked widespread reaction in the watch industry, with Patek Philippe President Thierry Stern explaining the decision to retire the 5711 in an interview with The New York Times. To mark the end of the 5711’s run, Patek has released a limited-edition Tiffany Blue version of the watch.
The Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe 5711 will be available exclusively at Tiffany & Co. boutiques in New York, Beverly Hills, and San Francisco, where Patek Philippe is sold. It features the same design as the original 5711, with the added bonus of a Tiffany Blue dial and a Tiffany stamp. The watch has been produced in a limited run of 170 pieces and comes inscribed with “170th Anniversary Tiffany & Co – Patek Philippe 1851 – 2021”.
In addition to honoring the 170-year partnership between Patek and Tiffany, the final 5711 marks the American jeweler’s acquisition by the LVMH Group. Patek CEO Thierry Stern presented the design to LVMH executives during a virtual meeting and was quoted as saying, “This was my little gift to say congratulations on buying Tiffany. For me, it was quite clear I had to choose something unique and exceptional. This is really the last round for this watch.”
The retail price of the Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe 5711 is $52,635, higher than the standard 5711 due to the additional work involved in producing a limited run. If you miss out on the allocation, you can try your luck on the auction block. Phillips will sell one lone piece on December 11 in New York, with 100 percent of proceeds going to The Nature Conservancy, a charity of Tiffany & Co.’s choosing. Tiffany & Co. will decide how all of the watches will be allocated to their clients.
The latest 5711 feels as much a Tiffany product as it does a Patek Philippe. The blue dial really stands out and the fact that Patek chose to partner with Tiffany for the final iteration of the 5711 speaks to the strength of the relationship between the two companies. This release also indicates that the partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany remains strong following Tiffany’s acquisition by the LVMH Group.
