This limited edition wristwatch was exclusively available at Tiffany & Co. Each wristwatch of this limited series was accompanied by a solid hand engraved silver coin representing the dial and back cover of the watch and bearing the inscription "In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the exceptional relationship between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co." Tiffany and Co. is the only retailer whose name is featured on the dial of Patek Philippe watches and the "T150" is the first limited edition wristwatch ever made for a U.S. retailer by Patek Philippe.
