Circa 1870s, the present watch exemplifies one of horology’s most illustrious partnerships. Established in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany, the legendary American jeweler became synonymous with luxury, offering an unparalleled selection of “fancy goods” and emerging as the preeminent purveyor of fine timepieces in the Americas. Such was Tiffany’s prestige that most watches retailed by the firm bore only the retailer’s signature—save for those by Patek Philippe, a rare exception that underscores the enduring transatlantic alliance forged in 1851.
