This just in… Yes, you’ve read correctly, there’s a new edition of the Nautilus coming. And while we thought the Olive Green version to be the last of the 5711 series – and that’s what was claimed back when it was introduced – The New York Times just broke the news that there’s actually a sequel to the last of the Nautilus 5711, a watch that will be made in extremely low quantities – even less than the Olive Green model – a watch made to celebrate an important anniversary of one of their oldest partners, and a watch that is not just about the double-signed dial, but also about an unprecedented dial colour. And yes, this is the new Baby-Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 for Tiffany’s 170th Anniversary. And it’s not fake news.The 5711 is, by far, the most coveted timepiece on the market today – at least when it comes to mainstream luxury brands. Recently, the brand’s president, Mr Stern, announced the end of the model (to be replaced of course) by launching an olive green edition, under the reference 5711/1A-014. Known to be almost unattainable, this watch quickly became the tool of all speculators, with some examples selling for more than 10 times its RRP. And we thought that after this green edition of the Nautilus 5711, there won’t be anything else to expect from this series, but only a new model to be released – most probably for Watches & Wonders 2022. But we were wrong.

The caseback also reveals a specific sapphire with anniversary mentions.Mr Stern also adds that an “easter egg” will be hidden on each of the watches… Now that’s something we’d like to know more about.You can read all the details in Victoria Gomelsky’s?article recently published by The New York Times here.
