The Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary is a 50-piece limited edition, reference OP110.30.AB.AB.A, built in 18K white gold and sapphire. Its defining features are 13 engraved scenes from The Godfather, a mechanism that plays the film’s melody, and a triple-axis flying tourbillon. Jacob & Co.’s Japan product page lists a suggested retail price of ¥112,640,000 including tax, but says the price may change and is not definitive.

What makes this the 50th-anniversary edition?

This is a specific white-gold anniversary model, not a generic description of the Opera Godfather collection. Jacob & Co.’s official Japan page identifies it as reference OP110.30.AB.AB.A and limits the edition to 50 pieces. The case carries 13 engraved scenes from the film, while the music-box cylinder bears 13 engraved quotations. Jacob & Co. lists the anniversary edition and its details here.

The launch belongs to 2022: Jacob & Co. later said the launch event took place in Sicily in October of that year, and the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry published an article about the watch on November 10, 2022. Those sources establish the launch context, not a precise announcement date. Jacob & Co.’s retrospective and the Federation’s November 2022 article provide those dates.

How the musical mechanism and tourbillon work

A pusher at 10 o’clock activates the mechanism that plays the Godfather melody. The manufacturer describes two cylinders and two combs for the musical system. The watch also displays hours and minutes using a differential system and places a flying tourbillon on three rotating axes: the axes complete rotations in 24, 48, and 180 seconds, respectively. These mechanisms make the watch as much a kinetic, musical display as a conventional timekeeper.

Specifications

Feature Jacob & Co. Japan specification
Reference OP110.30.AB.AB.A
Case 18K white gold and sapphire; 49 mm diameter and 20 mm thick
Crystal Domed, anti-reflective sapphire
Water resistance 30 m (3 atm)
Dial and hands Black matte-polished dial, 18K rose-gold applique indices, and blue hands
Movement JCFM04, hand-wound; 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz); approximately 50-hour power reserve
Movement components 658 in the official specification section; the same page’s narrative also gives a conflicting count of 654
Complications Hours and minutes with differential system; triple-axis flying tourbillon; melody activated by a pusher
Strap and buckle Alligator strap and 18K white-gold deployant buckle
Edition 50 pieces

Specifications and the component-count discrepancy are from the official Japan product page. The 658 figure is the number in its specification section; its narrative movement description instead says 654, so the page does not give a consistent count.

Price and availability

The official Japan page lists ¥112,640,000 including tax as the suggested retail price. Jacob & Co. explicitly notes that the amount may change and is not definitive. Treat it as a Japan-market list-price indication, not a guaranteed current price or a quote for another country. The available product information does not establish current stock or retailer availability.

How it differs from the broader Opera Godfather collection

Jacob & Co. also lists a separate Opera Godfather model. That is not the 50th-anniversary reference covered here: the family page describes a rose-gold variant with a different reference, edition size, and price. Keep those specifications distinct when comparing models. See the separate Opera Godfather product page.

In a EuropeaStar article, Jacob & Co. CEO Benjamin Arabov is quoted as saying that discussions with Paramount Pictures about the film’s 50th anniversary began on a call in June 2021. That is the publication’s rendering of his statement, rather than independently documented contract history. Read the EuropeaStar introduction.
