T150

A very rare and unusual white gold automatic annual calendar officier wristwatch with moonphases, engraved caseback and box, made for the 150th anniversary of the Patek Philippe - Tiffany & Co. relationship

Read Conditions of Sale
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the remarkable partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co., the brand released the exemplary annual calendar reference 5150 in 2001.The ref. 5150 features an officer-style case with a hinged caseback and is fitted with an unusual Louis XV-style crown, characterized by elegant curves that evoke a subtle air of nostalgia.

Unique to this reference, the watch presents an aesthetic departure from the firm’s traditional annual calendar design. Under the creative influence of Philippe and Thierry Stern, the month is indicated as a numeral for the first time, rather than in the usual text format. The dial is adorned with an oversized "T" at 12 o’clock, representing the retailer, with the Tiffany & Co. signature elegantly positioned beneath the moon phases. Additionally, the caseback is immaculately engraved with the façade of the original workshop in Geneva that the two brands shared during the 1860s.

Beyond all Tiffany reference in the case, the brand is also evoked in the name of the model - because indeed ref. 5150 is one of the very few - possibly the only - Patek Philippe reference which bears a distinct name: the self-explicatory “T150”.
The T150 was produced in a limited edition of 150 examples each in yellow, white, and pink gold.

Offered in excellent condition, the present ref. 5150 in white gold celebrates one of the most legendary partnerships in the history of watchmaking and combines two of the most respected, admired and envied names in the market.
