For those who are looking for something different, just picked this up. It's keeping perfect time, has 100m WP rating, plus included is a really nice Wolf two-watch case.

I'm gonna content myself with the thought that the nice people who brought us the $6.5 million Tiffany-Blue 5711/1a seem to have lifted ALL 5711/1a watches on Chrono24 another $20K.
Also, for those who continually complain about how the high prices of the 5711 ruin the enjoyment of wearing of wearing one, try to imagine how terrified and frightened you'd feel wearing a Tiffany-Blue and be grateful that you have no chance of getting one.

The wife. Mostly diamond related stuff. $1M is not insane when you factor in over a decade. In fact, it's actually quite measly since Tiffany diamonds aren't cheap.
Not my level but I get it. My SA has a lifetime customer of 30+ years with a 20M+ lifetime spend. Lot's of big money out there.

A few years ago, AP released the 15202 in yellow gold and green dial for Hourglass. 50 pieces only. I remember walking past the Paragon store window and saw 1 on display. I was not a yellow gold fan and did not pull the trigger, but would be nice to see Patek replicate the salmon dial on the 5711. Haters would still hate but the demand will be there.

Tiffany limited edition 5711

Brooklyns finest has one. This is orchestrated by Arnaults son no doubt and honestly I think he’s no idiot.

It is an absolute beauty, loved that green dial 15202, saw one on c24 recently for ~$230k.

This is going to destroy the Paul Neman Daytona record in a couple of generations when JZ passes it on to someone and it finds its way to Auction.



Ps who said it wasn’t a man’s color? It looks stunning

It looks stupid. There’s a reason Stellas came and went. T stamp is tacky. Copying a store color also. Celeb getting one. Yawn. Major yawn.

Originally only meant for SG customers they offered to fly one in for me.

I don't regret not buying it because my taste was different then but damn I wish I have a crystal ball or known that taste is not stangant.

But it's the latest investment craze! You will be missing out on a lifetime opportunity if you do not invest in watches now.

I think those HG SE watches are fugly but if you have the cash, not a bad investment.

What I wish was that I had spent every penny on the Rolex watches on display at HG in the 1990s. When every single model was under the glass and discounted to boot. Sadly, I only bought a single GMT-II Pepsi for 4000 SGD. Live and learn.

There are better investments than watches. Imagine if instead of Rolex you bought Apple stock in the 90s when it was trading below a dollar per share! Everyone has a 20/20 vision in hindsight.

It still would have been a bad investment. Lol

Or, better still, if you bought crypto just a few years ago.

K2Luxury had one NIB for 50k that sat forever. I stared at it many times and thought this is such an under appreciated piece because it’s YG. Then YG finally heated up and it was long gone by then.

There is one piece in C24 with a blue dial (not green) and the reference is not the same also (the Hour Glass version is 15205BA). Maybe the one you saw is already sold.

I also regret not getting it now (it was just sitting there 20cm infront of me available for purchase) and I totally agree with the evolving taste comment. As I get older, I'm more drawn to yellow gold. Yellow gold and green dial is a pretty cool combination. If this model is to be auctioned at the recent Phillips auction it will be a 500k result in my view.

I guess that's why it's not individually numbered.
Because they probably made a lot more than the 170 they claim to have made.
If it's a real 170 production why aren't they individually numbered?

The watch is really not up to standard: very sloppy printing on the back, wrong font for Patek + missing a "." after Tiffany & Co ....

It's sad that people at Patek can't even type the name of their distributor correctly.
