The Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Celebrity Allocation Tracker
When the gavel struck and the first Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 sold at auction for $6.5 million USD (yes for charity), the watch community’s attention immediately turned to which big name celebrities would be allocated these extremely rare timepieces (because face it, none of us average watch collectors stand a chance). Names like Sylvester Stallone, Mark Wahlberg, John Mayer, and Ed Sheeran were all speculated.
We at Wrist Enthusiast have decided that we would keep an updated list of every celebrity (or otherwise influential watch collector) that has received a Tiffany Blue Nautilus. So check back often (and bookmark this page) to see all the celebs who were able to obtain that holy grail the rest of us will likely never even get the chance to see in person.
So who got a Tiffany Dial Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711? Let’s see…
Jay-Z Spotted with a Tiffany Blue Nautilus on December 15, 2021
It’s not surprising at all that Jay-Z was the first celebrity spotted wearing the Tiffany Blue Nautilus (check out the rest of Jay-Z’s Patek Philippe Collection here). Jay-Z is a watch collector and both he and his wife are ambassadors for Tiffany. Since the Tiffany Blue Nautilus is a Tiffany & Co. boutique exclusive (so no, don’t go calling your local Patek Philippe AD for an allocation), it makes a ton of sense that he Jay-Z would receive the first allocation.
Lebron James Spotted with a Tiffany Blue Nautilus on December 25, 2021
What better Christmas gift to yourself than a Tiffany Blue Nautilus? Well, Lebron James was spotted wearing the 2nd publicly known allocation of the rare Nautilus while arriving to Crypto.com Stadium (the former STAPLES Center) for the Lakers’ holiday showdown with the Brooklyn Nets. He would later post a sneak peak of his new acquisition as an instagram story. Lebron James was previously an Audemars Piguet ambassador, but perhaps that partnership has lapsed. If I was in Lebron’s position, I would definitely celebrate my newfound watch buying freedom with a Tiffany Blue Nautilus.

Lebron James was once again spotted wearing his Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 during Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles on February 13, 2022.
Was Corey Gamble Spotted Wearing Tiffany Blue Nautilus on Christmas Eve, 2021?
Business executive Corey Gamble, perhaps best known for being the longtime boyfriend of Kris Jenner, was spotted at the Lakers-Nets game on December 25th wearing what is clearly a Patek Philippe Nautilus. What variation of the watch is a little more dicey. Dueling Instagram celebrity watch spotters have identified the watch differently with @watchspotterkw identifying it as the extremely rare Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-18 while @celebwatchspotter thinks Gamble wore the not-quite-as-rare-but-still-extremely-rare olive green Nautilus with factory-set diamond bezel Ref. 5711/1300A.
Which watch is Gamble wearing? Well, I cannot be sure but the dial does definitely give off the Tiffany Blue glow. Perhaps Kris bought her boyfriend an all-time great Christmas gift. We’ll include it on our allocation tracker until we hear otherwise, and in the interest of full disclosure…
Update: May 2, 2022
We can finally confirm that Corey Gamble was indeed allocated a Tiffany Blue Nautilus 5711. He was spotted wearing the sought after watch at the 2022 Met Gala along with his longtime girlfriend, Kris Jenner.
Bernard Arnault Spotted with a Tiffany Blue Nautilus 5740 Perpetual Calendar Piece Unique on January 22, 2022
While not a Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, I thought LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault’s latest wrist flex was worthy of a mention in this tracker. Arnault was spotted on January 22, 2021 wearing a piece unique (meaning one of one) Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe 5740 Perpetual Calendar. I can’t even imagine the price this watch would command at auction (though it will likely never see the open market. Perhaps this watch was a gift to himself in the wake of LVMH’s January 2021 purchase of Tiffany & Co. for $15.8 Billion USD. Either way, this may be one of the greatest watch flexes of all time.

The Infamous Tiffany-Blue Patek 5711 from Phillips Has Appeared on january 27th 2022!
It’s been a long and drawn out mystery: Who actually wont the auction for the Tiffany 5711? Well? We have that answer. According to an interview with HODINKEE, the winner appears to be Zach Lu, who posted an unboxing video to his instagram (@zachattack__25) late last night.
Interestingly, Lu had actually backed out of the auction at around the $5,000,000 mark. He had been a longtime supporter of Patek Philippe, and even personally reached out to Thierry to receive an allocation (which was denied). When the original winner of the Tiffany 5711 was unable to pay, Patek discussed who should receive the watch - And it was allocated to Lu.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Tiffany Blue Nautilus allocation. Who’s next? John Mayer? Ed Sheeran? Sylvester Stallone?
Leonard DiCaprio Spotted with a Tiffany Blue Nautilus at Rams vs. 49ers NFC Championship Game on January 30, 2022
What better way to flex in Los Angeles (and in front of the nation) than by wearing one of the 170 Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711s while at the NFC Championship Game between the hometown L.A. Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. Well, Leonard DiCaprio did just that. If you got a good enough look when the camera panned to the many celebrities attending the game, you would’ve been able to spot DiCaprio wearing the Tiffany Nautilus. Not a bad way to celebrate the hometown team advancing to the Super Bowl, right?
James Harden Spotted with a Tiffany Blue Nautilus 5711 on March 12, 2022
Lebron James is not the only superstar basketball player that got his hands on the coveted Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711. Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden (who was just traded to Philly from the Brooklyn Nets) was spotted wearing the extremely rare Nautilus. I guess being an NBA player increases your odds of getting this piece! Harden apparently has a very nice watch collection. We will have to feature it soon!
Anthony Field, AKA the Blue Wiggle Seen Rocking the Tiffany Blue Nautilus on March 19th, 2022
Anthony Field was one of the founding members of The Wiggles, and the only member who’s remained there for the full 30 years the show aired. The Australian is a known watch collector and has been spotted wearing everything from Richard Mille to IWC to Rolex. Adding to his already extensive list of solid watches is the elusive Patek Philippe Tiffany Blue Nautilus.
Update: The man himself, Blue Wiggle, commented on the post saying that the watch is not real. It is unclear if he is joking or not, but the plot thickens.
Mark Wahlberg Spotted wearing A Tiffany Blue Nautilus On April 18, 2022
Many of us predicted it, but it just took a little while. Mark Wahlberg uploaded an Instagram video in which he can be clearly seen wearing his allocation of the Tiffany Blue 5711. While the video has nothing to do with the Patek Philippe, the watch’s prominent display throughout the video makes me wonder if the whole video was just one massive flex. If you got it why not let the world know?
Artist Daniel Arsham Spotted Wearing a Tiffany Blue Nautilus on April 19, 2022
New York based artist Daniel Arsham is known for making some very cool pop culture inspired sculptures and artwork. Apparently he also appreciates a nice watch. Arsham was spotted on Instagram wearing a new Tiffany Blue Nautilus on April 19, 2022. The blue just pops on his wrist.
Fashion Designer Tommy Hilfiger Spotted Wearing a Tiffany Blue Nautilus on June 13, 2022
Tommy Hilfiger and wife Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger were spotted vacationing in Capri with Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble recently. Mrs. Hilfiger snapped a photo of the two couples out to lunch and noted that Tommy and Corey were “twinning.” The twining referred not only to wearing the same outfit, but they were both wearing a Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711. Not a bad watch to be twinning with.

Ed Sheeran Wears a Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 5, 2022
There has been a lot of conjecture as to whether Ed Sheeran would get the call for the Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus. Well he was first spotted wearing the watch while performing Stan with Eminem during the the rapper’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last month.
