Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. celebrate 170 years of alliance

To commemorate this long-lasting partnership, Patek Philippe has created a limited-edition of Ref. 5711/1A-018 Nautilus wristwatches in steel. Endowed with famous Tiffany Blue dials, the watch carries dual stamping – “Tiffany & Co.” at 6 o’clock paired with Patek Philippe at 12 o’clock. This casually elegant icon premiered in 2006 and will be retired in 2022. The rugged case is water-resistant to 120m and accommodates the self-winding calibre 26-330 S C, a movement with various technical innovations as well as a stop-seconds mechanism that allows the time to be set with one-second accuracy. The sapphire-crystal case back bears the inscription “170th Anniversary 1851-2021 Tiffany & Co. – Patek Philippe”. Only 170 units will be available exclusively in select Tiffany boutiques. One of the commemorative watches was auctioned off by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo on December 11, with 100% of proceeds benefitting The Nature Conservancy, and sold for a staggering $6,503,500.
