This watch is part of a small series of gold coin watches, given reference numbers in the 800 series, using the US$5 (Ref. 800), US$10 (Ref. 801), US$20 (Ref. 802 & 803), CHF100 (Ref. 804), Pesos 50 (Ref. 805) and others. The earliest coin watches were made in the late 1920s and production of this novelty form of watch continued until the 1980s. The coin was sliced and cut to perfectly accommodate a hinged inner case containing the dial and caliber 175 movement.
A Patek Philippe coin watch bearing the retailer signature of Tiffany & Co. is exceptionally rare. Furthermore, this gilt dial also features attractive Breguet Arabic numerals. It is amazing to imagine that this masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship was made the same year humanity first landed on the moon in 1969 and uttered the words ‘The Eagle has landed’.
