Notes

The present Patek Philippe for Tiffany wristwatch, crafted in 18k yellow gold and shaped in an elegant cushion form, stands as an exceptionally rare testimony to the early collaboration between the two houses. Its manual-winding construction and distinctive email dial, set with radium-filled indexes and dauphine radium hands, reflects the refined aesthetic sensibilities of the 1920s while preserving the quiet authority of Patek Philippe’s pre-war creations. The warm patina of the gold case, together with the luminous radium elements that have aged with remarkable charm, endows the watch with an atmosphere of early twentieth-century sophistication.

The piece is powered by movement number 94.988, a 12-ligne calibre fitted with an anchor escapement, representative of Patek Philippe’s precision engineering during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Housed in case number 284.876, the watch measures 30 millimetres in diameter and weighs 35.62 grams, offering balanced proportions that exemplify the harmonious design language of the era. The dial, case and movement all bear the signature of the manufacture, affirming the authenticity and integrity of this historically important timepiece.

Fitted with a leather strap secured by an 18k yellow gold buckle, the watch retains the discreet elegance characteristic of the jewellery-infused horology of the period. It is accompanied by its Extract from the Archives, confirming a movement manufacture date of 1892 and a sale in March 1920, details that enrich its provenance and illuminate its long passage through time.

A rare and poetic creation bridging the late nineteenth-century artistry of Patek Philippe and the early twentieth-century elegance of Tiffany’s clientele, this cushion-shaped wristwatch distinguishes itself through its original radium indexes and dauphine radium hands, uniting rarity, authenticity and enduring beauty in one of the most evocative expressions of early wristwatch design.
