It is surprising that two companies, located on the other side of the planet and established just two years apart, would eventually cross paths. The story of these two brands dates back to 1851. Antoine Norbert de Patek, on his first trip to the United States, sought a worthy retailer capable of selling his complicated pocket watches in the New World. He found his way to the store of Charles Lewis Tiffany, who would have thought a firm handshake between the two figureheads would mark the beginning of a long-lasting partnership – to be endured for over a century and a half. Antoine Norbert de Patek was amazed by the sheer volume of business done by the New York jeweler, who placed an order of 150 watches. Over time, the partnership between the two brands only grew stronger. In 1876, the two companies renewed a contract that appointed Tiffany & Co. as the main representative of Patek Philippe in the United States, safeguarding the interests of the Geneva manufacturer as their own. From the 1900s to the 1930s, Tiffany & Co. played a critical role in maintaining relationships between mega-collectors, such as Henry Graves Junior and Patek Philippe, often commissioning very important complications upon special order. In 2008, Patek Philippe opened a boutique at the renowned Tiffany retail venue on Fifth Avenue, further solidifying their relationship. To date, Tiffany & Co. is the only North American brand to have their name “double stamped” on the dial of a Patek Philippe timepiece. These “double stamped” watches are highly desirable to collectors and can only be acquired at Tiffany & Co. boutiques in New York. With the influence of the internet and social media, collectors are increasingly drawn to the popularity of “double-stamped” models for their distinctiveness and rarity. The Nautilus was first introduced in 1976 and it quickly became a symbol of luxury and prestige. Designed by the legendary Gerald Genta in the midst of quartz crisis, he is also responsible for creating other iconic and revolutionary watches that are highly coveted in the current market. A departure from traditional round watch designs, the Nautilus features a distinct octagonal shape inspired by a porthole on a ship. The watch also featured a unique integrated bracelet design that was unlike anything seen before. Over the years, the collection has undergone several updates and iterations, but the classic design has remained largely unchanged as Genta has already perfected it over 40 years ago. In 2006, the watch maison released the iconic reference 5711 which does not need a proper introduction as it is one of the most coveted luxury sports watch of the century, a watch that is synonymous with Patek Philippe. Retaining most of the design elements of the original Nautilus, its case is slim and perfect for any wrist sizes. The in-house calibre 26-330 SC, on the other hand, can be admired from the sapphire crystal display back. Until 2021, Patek Philippe decided to officially discontinue this well-loved reference which caused a shockwave in the watch community. As a last firework for this reference, Patek Philippe came out with a surprise by announcing possibly the biggest release of the decade. Drenched in a magnificent and highly sought-after Tiffany Blue® color, it is a soft, pastel shade of blue that is often described as being soothing and calming. The vibrant color is reminiscent of the blue-green hues that you might find in a tropical ocean or a clear sky on a sunny day. It is delicate, elegant and has never seen in any other Patek Philippe watches. Limited to 170 pieces only, the timepiece represents the 170th anniversary of the partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany and Co. with its case back written “170th Anniversary - 1851-2021 - Tiffany & Co. - Patek Philippe”. A true icon in the world of luxury watches, the current lot combined distinctive design, unparalleled craftsmanship, and rich history that have made it one of the most coveted timepieces in the world. Offered in brand new condition, the watch has never been worn before and it is complete with all the accompanying accessories. Sotheby's is extremely honored to present an example of this privileged model for our 50th anniversary auction in Asia. 兩家在各自領域享負盛名的品牌，腕錶製造商百達翡麗於1839年在日內瓦成立；珠寶商 Tiffany & Co. 則於1837年在紐約成立。令人驚訝的是，位於地球另一端，成立時間卻僅相隔兩年的公司，最終會有如此千絲萬縷的交集。 兩品牌的故事可以追溯到1851年，當時Antoine Norbert de Patek第一次來到美國，為了在新大陸尋找一個值得信賴的零售商，銷售他的複雜懷錶。他到訪了Charles Lewis Tiffany的商店，而誰又會想像到，兩位之間的一次握手將會開創長達個半世紀以上的合作關係。這家紐約珠寶商一次下訂了 150 枚腕錶，Antoine Norbert de Patek 更對他們的業務量感到非常驚訝。 隨時間推移，這兩品牌之間的合作關係變得更緊密。1876年，他們續簽了一份合同，任命 Tiffany & Co. 為百達翡麗在美國的主要代理商，如同保護自家品牌的利益一般，保護這家日內瓦錶廠的利益。從1900到1930年代，Tiffany & Co. 更協助維持百達翡麗與超級收藏家之間的關係，如Henry Graves Junior，這種級數的收藏家會經常委託製造非常重要的複雜功能。2008年，百達翡麗在著名的Tiffany & Co. 第五大道旗艦店開設了一家專門店，進一步鞏固了他們之間的關係。 迄今為止，Tiffany & Co. 是唯一一家能在百達翡麗腕錶錶盤上印製雙蓋章的北美品牌。這些雙蓋章的手錶只能在紐約的Tiffany & Co. 零售店購得，對藏家別具吸引力。在互聯網和社交媒體的影響下，收藏家越發追捧這些雙蓋章時計，只因其獨特性及稀有性。 Nautilus系列於1976年首次面世，並迅速成為名貴威望的象徵。由傳奇腕錶設計師Gerald Genta於石英危機設計，這位大師筆下的藍圖至今仍然歷久常新，備受追捧。有別一般的圓形手錶，Nautilus系列以八角形的錶殼脫穎而出，靈感來自船上的舷窗，更具有獨特美感的鏈帶，與別不同。多年來，這個系列經歷了屢次更新但經基本不變，只因40年前完美的設計。 2006年，品牌發佈了型號5711，成為本世紀最讓藏家熱捧的豪華運動腕錶之一，更有如百達翡麗的代名詞。保留了原始Nautilus的流線型錶殼，搭載品牌自家26-330 SC機芯，透過藍寶石水晶背蓋一覽無遺。2021年，百達翡麗決定停產這枚備受喜愛的型號，在收藏界引發了轟動。作為型號的最後絕唱，百達翡麗宣佈了一枚可能是近十年內最重要的錶款。 Tiffany Blue®️是一種柔和的淡藍色調，平靜但又充滿活力，讓人聯想起熱帶海洋或晴空的蔚藍。她精緻、優雅，直到現在，從未在其他百達翡麗手錶上見過。這枚特別的型號 5711限量發行170枚，代表了百達翡麗和 Tiffany & Co. 170週年間的無間合作，錶背更刻上兩家品牌聯乘的字樣。作為奢華手錶的真正標誌，她結合了無與倫比的設計、精湛的工藝和豐富的歷史，使其成為世上最令人嚮往的腕錶之一。 以全新狀態亮身拍場，腕錶從沒被佩戴，更附帶所有原裝配件。蘇富比非常榮幸在亞洲50週年年拍賣會上委售這款精美絕倫的特殊腕錶。 ---------------------以下为软件翻译，仅供参考---------------------
