(Top version 1:1) Patek Philippe (Commemorative Edition) NAUTILUS 5711/1A-018

Being so incredibly rare and, therefore, geared to upset masses of collectors destined to be missing out on one, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 “Tiffany & Co.” is quite the fitting swan song for the 5711/1A.

Specifications include a brass dial with Tiffany Blue^® lacquer and with horizontal Nautilus embossing, black printed Patek Philippe Genève, and Tiffany & Co. signatures (hence the term double-signed Nautilus), applied hour markers in blackened 18k white gold, a touch of luminous paint and baton-style hands. 

Hidden under that trademark blue dial is the Patek Philippe Caliber 26-330 S C, a self-winding movement with a power reserve between 35 and 45 hours – lagging considerably behind more advanced movements of the day engineered to provide between 60 and 72 hours of power reserve. Still, the movement is impressively thin, cramming 212 components into a space of 27mm by 3.3mm. This feat allows for the Nautilus case to take on its signature slimness, measuring in at just 8.3mm-thick.
