  • Catalogue Essay

    Tiffany & Co. is Patek Philippe's longest retailer and partner, their relationship starting since 1851. Such is their good relationship that Tiffany and Co. has been granted the honor of printing their name on some of Patek Philippe's dials.

    The present watch, Ref. 5396G, was created to celebrate the five year anniversary of Patek Philippe's boutique located inside the Tiffany & Co. store on 5th Avenue in New York City. The annual calendar wristwatch also features "Tiffany & Co." on the moon phase indicator, which not only gives a double seal of confidence, but also reflects Patek Philippe's goodwill and appreciation for its retailer.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
