Patek Philippe has created a limited edition of its soon-to-be-discontinued Ref.5711/IA Nautilus steel wristwatch, which will be sold at select Tiffany & Co stores. The price of the new edition will be US$52635, higher than the standard 5711. The watches will be dual stamped, with Tiffany's logo at the six 'clock position and Patek Philippe's at 12 o'clock. Its sapphire crystal caseback bears the commemorative inscription:'170th Anniversary 1851-2021 Tiffany & Co. -- Patek Philippe.' This time, for real.
