$2m starting bid if one ever surfaces on the secondary market?

[HMHM]

Nice! Waiting to see one on John Mayer’s wrist.

[Ichiran]

Wow this is the best 5711. Regrettably no relationship there whatsoever.

Stern said “this is really the last round for this watch.”

[YGRLX]

They are selling one at Phillips. Lot 1.

[YGRLX]

My guess is 2.5-5mm

I thought they just got rid of the blue face and changed to green? But are they really stopping production entirely?

[Jay (Eire)]

My immediate reaction was to laugh out loud. I’m still laughing.

Like the green was.
Normally special editions are like world times and 5905s etc
But instead why not break the internet with a Tiffany blue 5711

[Danny83]

Time for me to bribe a Tiffany manager

[GreenLantern]

What a joke.

All great for the greys.

Also, who launches new watches via CNBC vs. Hodinkee / Monochrome / A Blog to Watch. That's nice of Patek.

Should have bought more diamonds for my wife - oh my god what a fool I was!!!

Sadly, you couldn't have bought enough.

With only 170, and a hundred years of selling Pateks to people, you'd have to buy $100,000,000 in Tiffany diamonds to matter enough to them to get one of these.

It's a joke. Stern's been having the last laugh on us for a year+ now.

“I had to warn Tiffany and I said ‘listen, this is a fantastic gift,” Stern said. “But it’s also a poisonous one because you will have only 170 pieces and the choice to sell it to the final client will be yours. There will be 170 people who are very happy and the rest will be unhappy.’ I hope they sell it to the right people. This is really the most important for me. When you do such a watch, it has to go to the right person.”

[Mini2]

Its hard to take mr sterns comments as facts because as mentioned before he can easily just change his mind.
He says he don't want to be a one watch brand but decides to use that arsenal to blow up the internet.
people say the green 5711 is 600 units probably more like double if not more. If it was 600 units why not number them like the 40th edition.
Very much like Ferrari pistas

Hahahaha. He's a funny guy.

Back in my day I had to argue with people here who actually thought Thierry didn’t like the nautilus and wanted to get rid of it. You couldn’t possibly lean harder into it than he has the last 4 years.

I'm with you.

He's always sounded two-faced in this regard.

Four locations
170 units
A lot of watches
Some people will be very lucky

Has anyone found out what's written on the back of the watch?

Yes, just some nonsense commemorating the anniversary of the relationship. Nothing special in my opinion.

I promise I'm not a Patek hater. I have a huge collection and equally huge amount of love for them. But this is a joke. Especially in this watch madness climate.

You can see it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/f...ffany.amp.html

Don’t know what the Easter egg is though.

[Ichiran]

Is it too late for me to establish a nice relationship with Tiffany NY now?

[GreenLantern]

Seriously. Who launches a watch via NY Times?

Not sure why, but it annoys me that they didn't launch like everything else they launch (and everyone else).

Instead they launched via NY Times and CNBC.

If you want to go buy $250,000,000 in Tiffany diamonds, maybe.

And I'm only half-joking. Maybe less than half.

See you outside the store in a few hours.

Yes, a very cheap looking printed crystal with the letters "LVMH" included in the '2021' lettering.

Agree on the best 5711 ever. My wife just looked at me and said "we need to have a conversation."

[Vince_76]

The Easter egg is on Patekaholic’s IG. They inscribed “LVMH” in the “1” of “2021” on the caseback.

[Vince_76]

Painted crystals always looked cheap to me.
