Phillips’ post-sale release rounded the result to $6.5 million and said the funds were raised for The Nature Conservancy.
What was the final sale price?
Phillips’ lot page records a realized price of $6,503,500 for the watch at The 2021 New York Watch Auction. That is the precise auction result, including the buyer’s premium. Contemporaneous coverage reported a $5.35 million hammer price, which is the winning bid before the premium and should not be confused with the final amount paid.
Phillips said the sale raised $6.5 million for The Nature Conservancy. Its auction-wide results reported $35,919,052 across 165 of 165 lots sold, or 100% sold by both lot and value.
Which watch sold, and why was it significant?
The first auction example of a 170-piece edition
The lot was a brand-new stainless-steel Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-018 with a Tiffany Blue lacquer dial. Phillips described it as the first watch offered from a 170-piece edition marking the 170th anniversary of Patek Philippe’s retail partnership with Tiffany & Co. In its 2021 release plan, Phillips said the remaining watches would be available exclusively through Tiffany locations in New York, Beverly Hills, and San Francisco; that describes the original release, not current availability.

A long-running retail relationship
Patek Philippe said the U.S. retail partnership with Tiffany began in 1851, when Tiffany became “the first official retail partner for Patek Philippe timepieces in the U.S. market.” The 2021 edition marked 170 years of that relationship.
The Nautilus itself dates to 1976, when Patek Philippe introduced Ref. 3700. Phillips describes Ref. 5711 as the modern iteration; it premiered in 2006 with an exhibition caseback and an in-house self-winding movement with center seconds.

What record did Phillips say the sale set?
Phillips called the result a new world record for any wristwatch sold online. The qualifier matters: this was Phillips’ claim about online wristwatch sales, not a claim that the watch was the most expensive wristwatch ever sold by any method.

The $6,503,500 result is the documented price for this particular lot on its December 2021 sale date. It does not establish the watch’s current market value or the present ranking of auction records. A comparison with another example would need to account for sale date, venue, condition, completeness, provenance, and whether the quoted result includes the buyer’s premium.
