Lot Essay

With its unique Tiffany & Co. signed dial, the current wristwatch is a very rare and early Patek Philippe creation. The fact that the Patek Philippe signature is missing from this piece suggests that it was sold directly through Tiffany & Co., which is indicative of the two maisons' illustrious and long-standing collaboration, which has lasted for more than 170 years and still stands for the pinnacle of watchmaking and retail excellence.

Perfectly encapsulating the elegance of early 20th-century watchmaking, the rectangular case has a delicately curved, hinged design that makes the watch comfortable to wear on the wrist. Its elegant Art Deco-style hands give it a timeless sophistication, and the applied platinum Breguet numerals, which are confirmed by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, give it a subtle yet unmistakable elegance. It is a remarkable example of Patek Philippe's early wristwatch production because of its artistry, rarity, and historical significance.
