  • Catalogue Essay

    The present example is an extremely rare specimen. Boasting a glossy white lacquer dial, it is complete with the usual Breguet numerals and feuille hands. As the 25th white gold example known to the market, the ref. 5134G at hand is believed to be the first to bear a Tiffany & Co. Signature on the dial. This small but significant nuance further elevates the rarity and collectability of this exceptional timepiece.

    Last produced in 2008, this discontinued dual-time Patek Philippe is presented in excellent condition with its fitted presentation box. Combining its traditional design, modern mechanics and majestic white gold case, the present double signed Calatrava Travel Time is a modern heirloom, made to be passed on for generations. To our knowledge through research, the present example is the 25th known publicly and is the first example known retailed by Tiffany & Co.

  • 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.
