"The Tiffany Blue"
Ref. NAUTILUS-5711-TIFFANY
View all Nautilus →In 2021, Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. created 170 of these robin's-egg-blue Nautilus 5711s to mark the model's discontinuation. One was auctioned at Phillips for $6.5 million — over 120 times retail. The last lot of the last 5711, dressed in the most famous color in luxury. It became the defining watch of the speculation era.

The Holy Grail
"You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation." That line isn't just marketing — it's borne out by auction results. Patek holds the record for the most expensive watch ever sold (Grandmaster Chime, $31.19M). Founded in Geneva in 1839, the maison produces roughly 62,000 watches per year across one of the broadest complication ranges in existence: perpetual calendars, minute repeaters, tourbillons, split-seconds chronographs. The Nautilus and Aquanaut disrupted Patek's own dress-watch identity and now command waitlists measured in years. For serious collectors, Patek is the ultimate store of value.
Invented the keyless winding mechanism (1845). Created the first wristwatch with a perpetual calendar (1925). Grandmaster Chime 6300A sold for $31.19M at Only Watch (2019).
Nautilus 5711 appreciated over 300% from 2017-2022. Even conservative Calatrava references retain 80-100% of retail value. Patek is widely considered the safest horological investment.
