Serial #16333 Year production 1910-1915 TiffanyTiffany & Co. It is no secret that the most discriminating American complicated watch buyers chose Tiffany & Co. as their retailer of choice in the early 2oth century. From Grand Complications to the Supercomplication, Patek Philippe worked with Tiffany & Co. to reach the wealthiest clients in the United States, clients with the knowledge, taste, and means to buy the best. During the late 19th and early 20th century, it was a constant battle between Patek Philippe & Tiffany to determine which name should appear on the dial and the presently offered watch is the perfect example to show this evolving discussion. During the 19th century, it was common to have the name Patek Philippe hidden from view for purchasers of important Patek Philippe watches, during the early 20th century we see mentions of both the retailer and maker, and by the late 20th century, we see the name Patek Philippe, now firmly established on almost all dials made by the firm for Tiffany. The reasoning is that early on Tffany & Co. was much more well known to American buyers and over time the name Patek Philippe started to mean more to American buyers as they came to understand the brand. The TB XII Grand Complication features a triple signed Tiffany & Co. case, dial and movement. The movement is proudly signed "Made for Tiffany & Co. by Patek Philippe & Co. Switzerland". The case is signed "Tiffany & Co." as well as "Patek Philippe & Co." and the dial is signed "Tiffany & Co" with a later signature "Patek Philippe" believed to be added in the mid 20th century by Patek Philippe during a service.
