U.S. PATEK PHILIPPE BOUTIQUE'S FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
New York, NY (November 15, 2012) Tiffany & Co. celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Patek Philippe Boutique located in its New York flagship store with the introduction of a men's and a ladies' wristwatch jointly developed by Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. The timepieces are double-signed Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. and will be sold in a limited production exclusively through Tiffany's Patek Philippe Boutique and other authorized Tiffany & Co. locations nationwide.
The new Men's Annual Calendar watch (Ref. 5396G) was created especially for the boutique's anniversary. This elegant timepiece of 18 karat white gold features day, date, and month in apertures, moon phases and 24-hour indication on a black dial double-signed with a Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. hallmark and a matte black alligator strap. The sapphire-crystal case back reveals the caliber 324 S QA LU 24H and features an exclusive engraving "Patek Philippe A Shared Vision 2008-2013 Tiffany & Co".
Opened in 2008, the 3,000-square-foot boutique was Patek Philippe's first boutique in the U.S. Located on the mezzanine of Tiffany's Fifth Avenue store, the New York boutique showcases current collections, as well as timepieces on loan from the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva that embody the tradition and innovation for which Patek Philippe is renowned.
These rare timepieces chronicle the art of horology and highlight the shared history of Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. The partnership began in 1851 with a handshake agreement between the companies' founders that was based on trust, integrity and dedication to craft. Their shared values fostered a relationship that continues to promote the highest standards of excellence.
