Retailed by Tiffany & Co., the present watch displays the storied retailer's signature below "Patek Philippe Genève" on the dial. Only offered to their very best clients, co-signed Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. pieces rarely come on the market as they are fiercely coveted. So rare is this timepiece with Tiffany & Co. signature that to the best of our knowledge, it is the very first example with this dial configuration to come to the auction market.

Building on their reputation for crafting intricate movements, Patek Philippe sought to combine a chronograph with the annual calendar, resulting in the creation of the reference 5960. This reference, first released in 2006, was Patek Philippe's first in-house, automatic annual calendar flyback chronograph wristwatch. To commemorate this significant milestone, the reference 5960 was initially launched in platinum with a smoky grey dial, and subsequently in various precious metals such as pink and white gold.

The reference 5960 was met with great enthusiasm from collectors, and it's not difficult to understand why. The timepiece featuring a distinctive bull's eye register chronograph and pump pushers offered a fresh and contemporary aesthetic. Building on this legacy, Patek Philippe introduced another appealing variant in 2014, this time in stainless steel and paired with the brand's signature rice bead bracelet.

The present example boasts a stunning silvery-white dial, which creates a striking contrast against the bold black ring accents and hour markers. It is furthermore the first time this dial configuration with Tiffany & Co. comes on the auction market.
