New Nautilus With Tiffany Dial: Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 “Tiffany & Co”
Patek Phillipe presents a special version of the Nautilus to celebrate its long-standing partnership with Tiffany & Co. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 “Tiffany & Co” bears a dial in Tiffany blue and refers to the partnership with the lettering of both brands. The jeweller Tiffany & Co. was recently taken over by the LVMH group. Accordingly, the launch of this limited edition also seems to be a gift to the new management of the house. In keeping with the 170th anniversary of the collaboration, only as many pieces will be produced. These 170 watches are available exclusively in the Tiffany boutiques in New York, Beverly Hills and San Francisco.
Nautilus Case With Detail on The Back of The Case
The watch has the familiar stainless steel Nautilus case. The diameter of 40 mm and the height of 8.3 mm also remain as usual. On the back, however, the manufacture decorates the sapphire crystal case back with a fitting inscription. On the one hand, “170th Anniversary” refers to the duration of the association. The inscription “1851-2021” refers to the exact time span. However, Patek Philippe hides a small detail here. Indeed, the name of the new owner of Tiffany & Co., that is LVMH, stands in the 1 of “2021”.
The dial of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 “Tiffany & Co”
This special edition has a dial in the familiar blue of the New York jeweller. In addition, the words “Tiffany & Co.” are printed on the dial at six o’clock. Contrasting with the blue lacquer, the dots of the minute track stand out in black. The indices are of blackened white gold and are luminescent. The same applies to the baton hands of the main time. Last but not least, the frame of the date window also appears in shiny black.
The Calibre in the Nautilus
Inside this Nautilus is the calibre 26-330 S C, which consists of 212 parts and 30 jewels. It offers automatic winding with a power autonomy of up to 45 hours when fully wound. The rotor consists of 21-carat gold. Last but not least, a Gyromax balance with a frequency of 4 hertz provides the beat. The movement also bears the in-house “PP” seal as a guarantee of quality.

A function on its own is never everything. This is not exclusive to watchmaking, but it is particularly true here. Take a watch, for example, with which you can dive thousands of meters deep (at least if you wanted to, and your body could get that far down). Or take the function that helps you…
