A rare and charming Patek Philippe pocket watch dating from the late 1920's, bearing a deeply personal history. As recorded by the inscription inside the cuvette, the watch was presented by a grandfather to his grandson on the occasion of his twenty-first birthday, adding a touching layer of provenance to this exceptional timepiece.

Of particular interest is its dual signature: retailed by the prestigious Tiffany & Co., it features the highly desirable and uncommon Tiffany-signed dial, a rare attribute that greatly enhances its collectability. The elegant dial is distinguished by beautiful gilt Arabic numerals and delicate gilt minute markers, creating a harmonious and highly legible display.


The subsidiary seconds dial at six o’clock provides a pleasing balance to the composition, while the overall design reflects the refined aesthetics of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Preserved in very good condition, this pocket watch is a fine example of Patek Philippe’s renowned craftsmanship and an example of the celebrated partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. A rare and appealing watch, combining horological excellence, historical charm and enduring elegance.
