Tiffany Blue

Why it matters

Tiffany Blue refers to the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018, made with a Tiffany Blue dial for the Tiffany & Co. partnership in 2021. It launched just as Patek discontinued the standard steel 5711, which turned a small co-branded run into one of the most hyped watches in modern history. Auction results ran into the millions.

For any watch at this level, do not transact on photos. Real examples come with full Patek and Tiffany documentation and a verifiable chain of ownership. A middleman inspection is the floor, not a nice-to-have, on a piece like this.

Common questions

What is the Tiffany Blue Patek?

It is the Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 5711/1A-018, released in 2021 with a Tiffany Blue dial co-branded with Tiffany & Co. It is one of the most famous modern collaborations in watches.

Why is the Tiffany Blue Nautilus so expensive?

It combined a very small co-branded production run with the discontinuation of the standard steel 5711 in the same period. Demand massively outstripped supply, and auction prices reached into the millions.
