Notes

Antiquorum is pleased to present the Patek Philippe Retrograde Perpetual Calendar reference 5159 retailed by Tiffany & Co. This exquisite timepiece boasts an enlarged officer-style case, complete with a hinged dust cover that protects the sapphire crystal caseback. At its heart lies the renowned in-house Caliber 324 S QR, featuring central seconds, a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date hand, and a moon phase indicator.

Of particular significance is the rare Tiffany & Co. double-name dial, making its debut at auction today. This exceptional collaboration between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. is highly coveted and rarely seen, seamlessly blending Swiss precision with American luxury.

Originally acquired from the Tiffany & Co. salon in the United States on May 10th, 2011, this watch has been meticulously preserved by its original owner. It is presented with complete accessories and remains in unworn condition, with the caseback still protected by the original sticker. First time to the auction, cosigned by original owner’s family, this further enhances its rarity and desirability among discerning collectors.
