would be interested in the story that led to that photo!

Ichiran · 15 February 2022, 12:31 AM

This is a super cool watch. Love it

Dan Pierce · 15 February 2022, 12:33 AM

Wow, very nice, my friend!

It's a tidy piece, hoopla aside.

uniqueMR · 15 February 2022, 12:48 AM

Flawless!!

VFA · 15 February 2022, 01:23 AM

Some people dont like this dial color but I love it.

Most beautiful nautilus ever made in my opinion.

Would love to hear the story behind the photo.

ts3 · 15 February 2022, 01:29 AM

I continue to like this one as well. Not that it matters... LOL

macrowatch · 15 February 2022, 02:07 AM

Was it better or worse than the photos once you saw in person?

MUCH better in person… Press photos don’t do it justice.

Re: the backstory… essentially this was a right place / right time situation. I’m on vacation with my wife and one of the hotels we had dinner at happens to have a grey dealer store in the hotel lobby (won’t name the location / city to be fair to the dealer). Essentially walked in after dinner and stuck up a conversation all things watch related. After chatting for a good 30 minutes he told me to “hang tight” and went to get something from the back and THAT is what came out. He mentioned there was no price on the watch as one has yet to sell in the “open” market but assumed it was worth roughly $4.3M USD. THIS IS NOT MY WATCH, nor do I know what they paid or how they got it but I assure you it’s real.

So you're saying I can't borrow it for a special occasion?

What a piece!

What's interesting is that the date font seems to be different from the press photos.

To my knowledge, the olive 5711s and the tiffany 5711s come with newer, thicker date fonts but here, the date font looks more like the ones from the older, regular 5711s.

KVNNSCHNG · 15 February 2022, 02:41 AM

…another cool watch they had: 5167 Tiffany Stamped ($185k USD).

Throw in a full rack of Montgomery Inn ribs and it’s a deal my friend!

Hour markers and hands also look reflective as if they are polished - must be the strong spotlights.

TheAmeritrader · 15 February 2022, 03:36 AM

Never heard of this watch, what model is it? ��

DonLee · 15 February 2022, 03:37 AM

interesting. I was just talking to a friend who had this watch in her possession. She had said that most of the watches are not to be sold, and to be given out. Used more of a marketing ploy. And because they were being given out to specific people, nobody should be selling, because it was to people who really wouldn't need that money either.

I guess with time, we'll see

Great catch and highly suspect IMO.

Both the press photos as well as photos of the Phillipps 5711 Tiffany blue taken on Zach Lu's wrist clearly show the new date font, see:

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/my...s#&gid=1&pid=4

I'd find it surprising if they produced some of these 170 watches with the new date font a la 5711 green and others with the old one a la 5711 blue and white. Maybe someone bought an unworn 5711 blue or white and thought swapping in a Tiffany blue dial might net them some extra cash.

B01fan · 15 February 2022, 06:07 AM

Agreed, looks like the "old" font. Would be interested in better photos of the Tiffany & Co. stamping as well (although historically the stamping hasn't always been perfect, but you'd think they'd get it near-perfect for this final run).

Buyer beware...

Zuger · 15 February 2022, 06:31 AM

Must have been a fun dinner then! Thanks for sharing the pics!

Fenrira · 15 February 2022, 10:17 AM

To me, these look like custom dials rather than factory ones. The date font and polished markers are the main indicators.

Willyjo · 15 February 2022, 10:39 AM

This one is real folks. No debate.

Did you just screenshot and crop the picture that Alexandre Arnault posted on his story?
