Anthony Field — watch collection

About Anthony Field’s watch collection

Anthony Field is an Australian musician best known as the Blue Wiggle and co-founder of The Wiggles, the children's entertainment group that grew from a Sydney living room project in 1991 into one of Australia's most commercially successful music exports. Field has been the constant creative and business engine behind the group across more than three decades, contributing to hundreds of songs, dozens of television specials, and worldwide touring that has reached audiences across North America, Europe, and beyond. Alongside his role as a performer, he holds a degree in early childhood education, which has shaped the group's approach to music as a genuine developmental tool for young children rather than pure entertainment product.

When it comes to watches, Field's taste appears to run toward serious horological weight rather than casual or fashion-driven choices. The Anthony Field watch collection, as documented in our sightings database, currently centres on a single but deeply significant piece: the Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 5711/1A-018. Released in December 2021 as a limited farewell edition of the 5711 reference, the watch features a sunburst dial produced in collaboration with Tiffany & Co., finished in a soft robin's-egg blue that differs meaningfully from the standard steel-dialled variants that preceded it. Field was spotted wearing the piece in a context that suggested everyday familiarity with it rather than occasion-specific display.

The 5711/1A-018 is among the most discussed and debated watches of the past decade. Only 170 examples were made available to the public through Tiffany & Co. boutiques at retail, priced at $52,635, while the remainder went to institutions and collectors through Patek Philippe's own channels. Secondary market prices climbed to multiples of that figure almost immediately after release. Owning one requires either exceptional access, long-standing relationships with authorised dealers, or movement in collector circles where such pieces change hands quietly. For a musician from Sydney's northern suburbs, it is a choice that signals genuine engagement with the watch world.
