The watch derives its exorbitant value from the collaboration of two popular brands, Tiffany and Patek Philippe. The companies have manufactured only 170 pieces of the celebrated timepiece to commemorate their 170 years of working together. Hence, the rarity of the timekeeper.

In addition, the president of Patek Philippe, Thierry Stern, made the decision to discontinue the production of the much-coveted 5711 model. Therefore, the Tiffany model began to draw extensive attention.
