Not only is the watch featuring a Tiffany Blue - colored dial for the first time ever, the dial is also doubled stamped with the word “Tiffany & Co” at 6 o’clock paired with the Patek Philippe logo at 12 o’clock. Tiffany & Co has supported key relationships between Patek Philippe and major American collectors and in the 21st century, Patek Philippe has created several limited editions for TIffany & Co many of which commemorate important dates as well as featuring double stamped dials for both brands.
