Patek Philippe Tiffany Watches Review | SwissWatchExpo

If you like the sound of the Tiffany & Co. Patek 
Philippe 5711, but you don’t have 6.5 million  
just hanging around in between the cushions of 
your couch. We’ve got a solution for you. Some  
really fantastic Tiffany & Co. Double signed 
Patek Philippe watches here at SwissWatchExpo.
It seems like all the stars and the sports figures 
and the Hollywood elite then seen rocking their  
5711 Tiffany blue dial Nautilus watches recently. 
And one of them in December went for a staggering  
six and a half million dollars. There’s only 170 
of those watches produced. They’re the last 5711s.  
And most likely if you’re watching this video, 
you’re never going to get your hands on one.  
So what’s the next best thing. Well, realize that 
Patek Philippe only makes about 60,000 watches a  
year. So they’re already extremely rare. Then you 
take a small percentage of those and double sign,  
the dial Tiffany & Co., and it’s a much smaller 
number, very, very rare watches. And that’s one  
of the reasons why this drives Patek Philippe 
collectors off the chart with excitement about  
these watches. We happen to have a couple of 
examples in stock right now at SwissWatchExpo.
If you go to our website, SwissWatchExpo.com 
in the search bar at the top where it says  
search 2000 plus watches type in the word, 
Tiffany, you’ll see what we’ve got. We also  
occasionally get double-signed watches from 
Rolex and Tiffany. Their history with Rolex  
was kind of interesting. They used to

make a lot
of double-signed watches. Rolex in particular used
to have relationships with a lot of companies to
double sign their watches. Some of their biggest
competitors now like Cartier actually used to make
double-signed watches. So you’ll find there exists
Rolex watches that say Cartier on the dial very
rare. And so it’s kind of a niche collecting
area for just, you know, you could
build a collection around looking for
double signed watches. So we’ve got
a couple here to get you started.
These are in stock and ready to ship. They’re
really, really beautiful watches. I’ll start with
this Gondolo. This one is a 5135 is the reference.
It’s an annual calendar moonphase in white gold,
and it’s a good-sized watch you know, within the
world of Patek Philippe collecting, if you focus
on watches from the ’40s and ’50s and ’60s, you’re
going to end up with probably a lot of smaller
watches in your collection, but this one’s a more
modern example. It’s 38 millimeters wide 51 high,
and it is an automatic watch with an exhibition
caseback. So you can see that beautiful Patek
Philippe Calatrava on the rotor. We’ve talked
about this watch before. I love how symmetrical
it is with the apertures at 10 and 2, and
then the aperture at 12, the moonphase.
And when you look at these watches, the double
signing is very subtle. On this one, you have
to really kind of look for it. It’s the moonphase
sub-dial at 6 o’clock. It does say Tiffany & Co.
And that would be a great collection because
you could easily enjoy it and wear it every
day. It’s not a vault queen that you
would have to protect and never wear.
But instead, something you could really enjoy
and have a lot one with because I’ve never seen
another one exactly like this. So it’s gotta be
exceedingly rare. The next one we’ll talk about.
This is the 5150, and this is the one that comes
with everything that you see here. This one was
commemorative for 150 years of the relationship
between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co.
When these companies were both young upstarts in
the 1830s they had been around 14, 15 years and
the founder of Patek Philippe met with
the founder of Tiffany at the store in
New York, and they were so impressed by each
other’s products that they were making and selling
that they decided to form a partnership. And
in fact, there were some Tiffany things at the
Patek Philippe center in Switzerland. They
had one of the original Tiffany vaults
installed there. They had a sign-up that they
were a partner with Tiffany & Co. And at Tiffany,
they really became, they were the first
American distributor of Patek Philippe watches.
They were the first to have an in-store Patek
Philippe salon opened in 2008. And they’ve really,
this partnership has been very solid as
opposed to say the one with Rolex, which yeah,
it was a little more rocky. Rolex decided to stop
stocking the service dials that said Tiffany & Co.
And then they decided that they were going to no
longer honor the warranty of watches that were
stamped Tiffany & Co. Somewhere besides
their own factory in Switzerland.
So that sort of ended the relationship between
Tiffany and Rolex. But this partnership with Patek
Philippe has just continued to go strong. This
watch is really interesting because the hunter
caseback does have a commemorative inscription.
It says 1851, 2001, and has a picture of
the front of the Tiffany store. And
then you opened it up. Of course,
you can see the exhibition caseback the
22-carat gold rotor with the Calatrava logo,
all of the numbers on the inside of the caseback.
So, it’s also an annual calendar moonphase watch.
So the watch itself is also spectacular. It
comes with the setting tool. Also included in
it is this book that’s sort of a history of the
relationship between Patek Philippe and Tiffany.
And it comes with this commemorative coin that
says in commemoration of the 150th anniversary
of the exceptional relationship between Patek
Philippe and Tiffany & Co. So you got a lot of
interesting ephemeral things here, some swag
to go with your Tiffany Patek signed watch,
but give us a call. We’ll be happy to talk to you
about anything that we have that’s double signed.
Sometimes we have watches from other companies as
well that are double-signed, and these are really
exciting, interesting watches and something
cool that you could start a collection with.
