In December 2021, a late addition to a Phillips Auction stunned the watch world when Patek Philippe introduced one of those high quality fake watches that takes trends and flips them on their head. In barged the new Patek Philippe 5711 Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-018, co-signed Tiffany & Co, with a dial colour so important, it would inspire swathes of watchmakers to hop on board with their own iterations. While it’s unlikely than anything but another 5711 Tiffany will hammer at a whopping US$6.5m, we’ll dive into those who hit the mark with their alternatives.
Fake Swatch x Omega Moonswatch – Mission to Uranus
The cheap fake Omega Moonswatch needs very little introduction. But one colourway out of the 11 available stood out significantly to collectors and instantly became the “Tiffany Blue”. The Mission to Uranus, although a slightly different hue to the actual blue used by the New York jeweller, is the only watch in this list to feature a fully coloured case, produced in Swatch’s “Bioceramic” plastic technology. Given the timing, it’s clear that Swatch purposefully selected this specific colour choice as a major marketing move – and it worked. If the whole release process around this collection wasn’t enough, the Mission to Uranus quickly became one of the hottest pieces in the series with it’s attractive case colour, and of course, the fact it’s a pseudo-Speedmaster. The affordability of this piece also counts towards it earning a solid place in this list.
Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 ref. 126000
The best 1:1 fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual is Rolex’s entry-level model (once trading at the same level as a Daytona), although that term is rather moot when we’re reminded of Rolex availability. In 2020, Rolex released the carefully named “Turquoise Blue” dial as part of their collection update – and instantly it stood out as the key piece in the three-hander collection, and in typical AAA quality replica Rolex fashion, was aptly labelled with a nickname… the “Tiffany”. The famous New York jeweller has a history with Rolex – offering dials printed with their logo in the past, however this piece bears no connection whatsoever, other than the dial being an extremely close match to the trademarked colour. Nevertheless, this is completely irrelevant, because the rest of the world sees it as the “Tiffany”, and as such, it’s incredibly difficult to obtain. The 41mm Rolex replica for sale is now discontinued, however if you’re extremely lucky, the watch is still available from Rolex in 36, 34 and 31mm variations.
