From around 2020, models that adopted “green” and “gray” in addition to blue were adopted by various brands as trend colors, but in 2022, “turquoise” is attracting new attention. Blue”.
In addition to being featured in Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual, Patek Philippe’s Nautilus Tiffany Blue (5711/1A-018) sold at Phillips auction in 2021 for $6,503,500. As a result, the color has suddenly become a hot topic, and the lineup of models that use turquoise blue is increasing not only for luxury watches but also for casual watches.
This time, we have selected a model that uses turquoise blue from the price range of “under 100,000 yen”. As one of the trends, it will be worth checking and having.
