Catalogue Essay
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of this remarkable relationship, Patek Philippe released the exemplary annual calendar reference 5150 in 2001. Inspired by round pocket watch with bassine-style case worn by officers of superior rank during WW1, the ref.5150 officer-style case with an unusual Louis XV style crown with elegant curves boost a subtle air of nostalgia.
Unique to this reference, it features an aesthetic exception amongst the firm’s traditional annual calendar design. Under the creative involvement of Thierry Stern, the month is indicated as a numeral rather than the usual text form for the very first time. Graced with an oversized T (the wordmark of the retailer) at 12 o’clock and Tiffany & Co. signature sitting underneath the moon phases, the 5150 were made in a limited edition of 150 examples each in yellow, white and pink gold. Furthermore, the caseback is immaculately engraved with the façade of the original workshop in Geneva shared by the two during the 1860s.
