At the turn of the 20th century, as the art of horology reached new heights in both precision and refinement, Patek Philippe stood at the forefront of innovation, particularly in the realm of grande complications. Among its most revered creations were minute repeating pocket watches, treasured not only for their technical ingenuity but also for the elegance and restraint with which they were presented. These timepieces were often further distinguished by retail collaborations, most notably with Tiffany & Co., Patek’s esteemed American partner since the mid-19th century. A double signature on the dial—Tiffany alongside Patek Philippe—not only signified exclusivity but also marked the watch as a transatlantic ambassador of excellence. The present minute repeating pocket watch, housed in a charming 18K yellow gold open-face case and dating to circa 1910, is a superb example of Patek Philippe’s artistry during its golden age. The dial, beautifully preserved and minimal in design, features baton-style indexes, golden dauphine hands, a subdial at six o'clock with a close track and the rare and highly coveted double signature of Patek Philippe & Co. and Tiffany & Co., discreetly printed beneath the 12 o’clock position. Beneath its hinged dust cover lies the heart of the complication: a hand-finished minute repeating movement, caliber 18'''. The case itself is in truly excellent condition, with sharp hallmarks, individual number and inner and outer case engravings. Showcasing minimal signs of wear, rich in provenance and rarity, this timepiece not only embodies the savoir-faire of Patek Philippe but also the enduring romance of early 20th-century haute horlogerie.
