The credit for rocking the Patek Philippe Tiffany Nautilus 5711 belongs to Jay-Z. The hip-hop great rocked the turquoise blue dialed timepiece at a Los Angeles screening of The Harder They Fall last year. The watch didn’t need much more publicity to captivate the attention of the world.
The Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio is also a proud owner of the modern marvel. In fact, fans spotted the Wolf of Wall Street actor wearing the hyped watch while enjoying a courtside view at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
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.
