Haruyoshi, a company specializing in the resale of luxury watches and high-end jewelry, has acquired a Patek Philippe Nautilus "Tiffany Blue" (Ref. 5711/1A-018).
This piece, unveiled in 2021 to mark the partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co., is a double-signed model limited to just 170 pieces worldwide. Its announcement sent shockwaves through the watch market and made it a byword for the hardest watch to obtain in the world today — a piece that has since become the stuff of legend.

Why It's a Milestone in Watch History — the Final Chapter of the Ref. 5711
In 2021, Patek Philippe announced the discontinuation of the Nautilus Ref. 5711, the standard-bearer of what many call the "king of luxury sports watches," sending shockwaves through collectors worldwide. Arriving at the very end of that production run was this piece, created to mark Patek Philippe's historic partnership with Tiffany & Co., a relationship dating back to 1851.
The dial, finished in the brand's iconic Tiffany Blue, carries a "Tiffany & Co." signature at the 6 o'clock position — the double-name detail that defines the model. It was sold only through a small number of Tiffany & Co. stores in the United States, including New York, and even top VIP clients around the world rarely managed to secure one, making the 170 pieces truly "the chosen few."
At a charity auction held shortly after its unveiling, one example sold for roughly $6.5 million — more than 100 times its retail price (about ¥700 million at the exchange rate at the time) — a result that made watch-auction history. Between the rarity of a discontinued Ref. 5711, a production run of only 170 pieces, and the story behind two storied maisons, this is a watch that carries it all, standing among the very best in both investment value and the prestige of ownership.
Haruyoshi's Approach to Sales
Haruyoshi is not simply a shop that buys high and sells low. The company focuses on sourcing high-quality items in large volume and offering them at competitive prices. With cumulative sales of roughly ¥235.6 billion over the past three fiscal years in the pre-owned luxury watch market, Haruyoshi is able to offer rare, sought-after pieces like this Tiffany Blue Nautilus at highly competitive prices.
Customers searching for a specific piece can also request a search through Haruyoshi's global network — whether it's a green-dial 5711 or another limited model, requests are welcome.
Buyback: Stepping Up Purchases of Rare Nautilus Models
Haruyoshi is also stepping up its buyback of rare Nautilus models — discontinued references, limited editions, and double-signed pieces among them — and aims to offer highly competitive purchase prices. For ultra-rare models with little established market data, Haruyoshi's global sales network is put to particular use in determining value.
Anyone considering selling a piece is welcome to bring quotes from other dealers for comparison; Haruyoshi will offer to beat them. In-store appraisals by specialist watch experts are free of charge.
