To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the historic partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co., the manufacture released the commemorative Annual Calendar reference 5150 in 2001. Executed in an officer-style case with a hinged dust cover, the model features a distinctive Louis XV-style crown whose fluid curves evoke an air of classical nostalgia.
The reference 5150 stands out as an aesthetic departure from Patek Philippe's traditional annual calendar layout. Conceived under the creative direction of Philippe and Thierry Stern, the design displays the month as a numeral for the first time rather than the conventional text representation. The dial is further distinguished by a prominent "T" at 12 o’clock honoring the retailer, accompanied by the Tiffany & Co. signature positioned beneath the moon phase aperture. On the officer caseback, a crisp engraving depicts the façade of the original Geneva workshop shared by both firms during the 1860s.
Production of the reference 5150 was strictly limited to 450 total timepieces—comprising 150 examples each in yellow, white and pink gold. Offered in well-preserved condition, the present pink gold example is complete with its full set of original retailer accessories, celebrating one of the most enduring alliances in luxury horology.
