4. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 Tiffany
In recent years, the turquoise or Tiffany Blue color has gained immense popularity in the watch industry. This distinct shade is often associated with Tiffany & Co., the renowned jewelry brand.
Patek Philippe offers a Nautilus model in this striking color. This particular model gained significant attention as Patek Philippe officially discontinued the 5711 series.
In 2021, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 Tiffany was auctioned by Phillips Auction House and sold for approximately $6 million. This made it one of the most expensive Patek Philippe watches.
The high auction price was driven by its rarity and the popularity of the Nautilus line and Tiffany Blue color.
Aside from the Nautilus 5711/1A-018 Tiffany, other variants of the 5711 are also becoming increasingly scarce. Fortunately, some models are still available at Luxehouze.
