In 1851, while Antoine Norbert de Patek was on his inaugural business trip to America to find a worthy retailer for his intricate pocket watches, he met Charles Lewis Tiffany, the founder of Tiffany & Co. in New York. Little did they know that their meeting would mark the beginning of a prosperous and long-standing partnership between the renowned Genevan manufacture and the American jeweler. Today, Tiffany & Co. is the only American retailer whose name appears on a Patek Philippe dial, making watches that bear the dual stamps of these iconic brands a rare and highly sought-after commodity among watch enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
The reference 5980, launched in 2006, was the first watch in the Nautilus family to feature a chronograph complication. In 2013, it received a luxurious upgrade with a hefty pink gold case, as seen in the present example. Powered by a fully in-house Patek Philippe movement, its additional flyback chronograph feature allows the wearer to reset the chronograph without ever stopping it in the first place. Double stamped with the coveted Tiffany & Co. signature, this mechanically and aesthetically sophisticated timepiece is sure to impress.
