The Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-018 Tiffany & Co. celebrates a very long partnership between the two brands. The alliance between Patek Philippe and their U.S. “sales outlet” Tiffany & Co. is already 170 years old. Which is why this special edition is limited to 170 pieces.
This 5711 not only bears the renewed Tiffany colors but also has both company names stamped on the dial. “Tiffany & Co.” at 6 o’clock and Patek Philippe at 12 o’clock. Patek also states that they will retire the Ref. 5711, on the market since 2006, in 2022.
What is the origin of Tiffany Blue?
The turquoise color associated with Tiffany & Co. is nowadays known as “Tiffany Blue.” This specific shade, often described as robin’s-egg blue, has been a hallmark of the brand since 1845. As in that year the color was found in the catalogue.
In 1998, Tiffany & Co. trademarked this unique color, and in 2001, it was standardized by Pantone as “1837 Blue”. Named after the company’s founding year. The exact hue is a custom color created exclusively for Tiffany and is not publicly available. Which is kind of odd of course.
The dial of this 40-millimeter stainless steel Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-018 has the typical Nautilus design, with horizontal embossing. For this model, the hour markers and hands are blackened forming a nice contrast with the turquoise dial.
