Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past two months, the whole buzz surrounding the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Tiffany-Blue dial made for the 170th anniversary of the NYC-based jeweller and watch retailer should be something quite familiar to you – and maybe, you’re also rather bored with this story by now. But, today, it’s basically the mother of all Tiffany-Blue Nautilus watches that has been spotted out in the wild (understand Instagram). Yes, just like that, casually playing chess, Bernard Arnault, owner of LVMH and now owner of Tiffany, has been spotted wearing something very, very unusual: a unique Tiffany-Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual 5740. Now the $6.5 million 5711 sold by Phillips seems almost like a standard watch…?Photo from Instagram @frederic.arnaultSpotted on the Instagram account of Frederic Arnault, son of Bernard Arnault and CEO of TAG Heuer (also owned by LVMH), father and son were casually spending an afternoon playing chess, while on the wrist of the usually very discreet and low-key Bernard Arnault was something rather intriguing… a Tiffany-blue dial could easily be seen, and so was the emblematic shape of the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Well, what a surprise, the owner of LVMH, itself the company that owns Tiffany, secured one of the 170 pieces for himself… Fair enough.Photo from Instagram @frederic.arnaultWell, looking at the second image on the post by Frederic, the story changed quite drastically. Sure, the watch in question is a Patek Philippe Nautilus. Sure, it is equipped with a Tiffany-Blue dial. But it’s not a 5711. Instead, what you’re looking at is a unique Tiffany-Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar 5740 – a watch that is usually equipped with this mid-blue dial and encased in white gold. No idea if Arnault’s unique Tiffany-Blue Nautilus 5740 is made of white gold or stainless steel, but clearly we’re now looking at what Patek enthusiasts could name the ultimate collector’s Nautilus. Oh well, it must be pleasant sometimes to be one of the richest men on Earth, to own some rather cool luxury brands and to be on good terms with the Sterns. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
