T150 The "T150" was launched by Patek Philippe in 2001 in commemoration of the 150-year collaboration between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. (1851-2001). 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. It was produced as follows: 150 pieces in yellow gold; 150 pieces in white gold and 150 pieces in pink gold.
