Picked this up this discontinued OP 41 with the "Tiffany" dial

I asked my Rolex dealer for the "Tiffany" dial OP 41. They said it was pretty hard to get and even more so after it was discontinued. They came through with this although I suspect they had been sitting on it for some time. Happy to help them out. It was a watch that I'd never pay secondary prices for as they go for all kinds of silly money.

My unfounded theory is that Tiffany got bent out of shape on them using this colour even though it's technically not an exact mirror of Tiffany blue.

I have a few Rolex stainless steel models but like the pop of colour on this one.

Congrats! It is a great looking piece. Now that one you could probably flip even today. In Japan they are over 20k on the grey.

They still do turquoise in smaller sizes.

Tiffany might have objected to coral and yellow though because they were completely discontinued.

Hmm.

It’s a discontinued piece - even an AD can dispose of it however they chose to.

They could have put that into any of the flagship Geneva auctions and been returned 30K+ Chf.

‘Loyal customer and good AD’ maybe, there’s certainly a relationship

Congrats! It's a simple watch, but that combo is a winner, especially when you got it at retail at an AD. I have to say it looks really good on your wrist!
