Landmarked NYC 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' townhouse for sale for $15M

You can now have breakfast where Holly Golightly did. The Upper East Side townhouse made famous in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' as the home of Audrey Hepburn's beloved socialite character is now on the market for $15 million, The Post has learned. Located at 169 East 71st Street, the landmarked, five-story residence has undergone a top-to-bottom, three-year renovation that melds cinematic lore with contemporary luxury. While the townhouse's exterior was used for filming, the interiors — like most films — were shot on studio sets in Hollywood. Still, the building's recognizable façade and Tiffany Blue door have made it one of the most iconic movie homes in New York. 23 A landmarked Upper East Side townhouse at 169 East 71st Street — famously featured as the home in the 1961 classic Breakfast at Tiffany's — has hit the market for $15 million.

Tiffany & Co unveils the Rope, its first watch with a solar-powered movement

The allure of a jewellery watch lies in its seamless blend of form and function. In recent years, Tiffany & Co has expanded its collection of jewellery watches inspired by legendary designs from its archives. Inspired by a twisted gold motif first conceived by Jean Schlumberger – one of the most influential jewellery and watch designers of the 20th century – the Rope Watch pays homage to his artistic legacy. Schlumberger, who spent over three decades with Tiffany & Co, was deeply influenced by the tassels, braids, and weaves he knew intimately from his upbringing in a prominent textile family in Alsace, France. He wove these inspirations into a distinctive collection of jewellery. The twisted golf motif has now been translated into a modern-day timepiece, combining a contemporary aesthetic with innovative watchmaking. The watch is presented in 18k yellow gold with the option of a white mother-of-pearl or glossy black dial. The wide bezel surrounding the dial is highlighted by two circles of polished gold rope, separated by a ring of round brilliant diamonds. The minute hand also takes the form of a rope. It features Tiffany & Co's first solar-powered movement designed in collaboration with and produced by renowned Swiss movement manufacturer, La Joux-Perret. The technology is a rarity in the world of jewellery watches and a first for Tiffany & Co. When fully charged, it provides autonomous power to the watch for eight months. Solar cells are set beneath the semi-translucent dial of the watch, enabling the movement to charge. Outdoors on a sunny day, it takes just two minutes to charge the watch to sufficiently run for 24 hours. The watch also comes in two case sizes. The 27mm size is set with 38 diamonds of nearly 0.52 total carats, while the 33mm size features 39 diamonds of 0.9 carats. To complement the sparkle of the diamonds, the polished gold of the rope accents catches the light to create depth and dimension, showcasing the expertise of Tiffany & Co's artisans. The caseback sports an engraved sun logo and a diamond to represent the new collection. The mother-of-pearl dial is paired with a Tiffany Blue alligator strap, while the glossy black dial is matched with a black alligator strap.

Turquoise Manicures to Channel Your Inner Ocean Dream This Spring

Imagine holding a beautiful piece of turquoise in your hand—its natural beauty reflecting the calm of a serene ocean or the richness of a tropical lagoon. The color of turquoise is known for its dynamic variety, ranging from blue to green, often streaked with lighter or darker veins. But one thing is for sure: turquoise makes an incredible statement when incorporated into your manicure this spring. Whether you're looking to channel the elegance of Tiffany blue or the funky vibes of '90s nostalgia, there's a shade of turquoise perfect for your nails. 1. Tiffany Blue Elegance Tiffany Blue isn't just a signature color; it's practically an icon in itself. While it's a touch bluer than true turquoise, it remains within the same family, offering that cool, luxurious feel. Imagine this refined hue wrapping around your nails while you sip coffee from an elegant mug, and suddenly you're in a scene from your favorite movie. Simple, yet undeniably chic. 2. Simply Turquoise If you're seeking a straightforward, no-fuss look, "Simply Turquoise" offers the perfect balance of blue and green. It's universally flattering, calming yet vibrant, and looks striking on its own. This classic shade is a go-to for anyone wanting that perfect dose of spring without overcomplicating things. 3. Turquoise Chrome Taking it up a notch, this sleek chrome version of turquoise is futuristic, edgy, and undeniably stylish. Think of this as a modern take on the traditional turquoise manicure—a bit of metallic sheen makes this color pop with dimension and elegance. Whether you want to go minimalist or add some additional designs, this one never fails to make a statement. 4. Turquoise Bling Want a manicure that sparkles as much as your jewelry collection? Enter the Turquoise Bling. Inspired by Tiffany Blue but with a little more shine, this chrome manicure has been spotted on celebrities like Hailey Bieber. It's perfect for a glamorous occasion or any time you want your nails to shine as bright as your personality. 5. True Blues For a manicure that mixes playful with sophisticated, opt for a "skittle" look by pairing turquoise with complementary hues like sapphire and diamond. This jewel-toned mix feels upscale and fun at the same time, evoking the image of precious stones and high-end jewelry. The perfect choice for when you want your nails to do the talking without saying a word. 6. On a Roll For a true throwback vibe, turquoise and hot pink swirls are here to bring the fun of the '90s back to life. Think neon arcade lights and roller rinks—this vibrant combo is full of energy and nostalgia. These playful swirls give a bold and funky twist to a traditionally serene color, perfect for those who love a bit of whimsy with their manicures. 7. Funky Negative Space Sometimes the best designs are the ones that leave a little room to breathe. Negative space manicures have become a stylish way to create an unexpected design with minimal effort. The trick here is to play with the placement, allowing turquoise to shine through in creative, geometric ways. It's art for your nails, and it's sure to get some compliments. 8. Under the Sea Ever dream of having nails that look like they belong under the ocean? This mismatched turquoise design mixes builder gel florals, dewdrops, and blooming gel swirls in a stunning, aquatic-inspired arrangement. With its serene but playful vibe, this one might just need the skilled hands of a nail tech to bring it to life, but it's worth it for the oceanic beauty.
