Tiffany and Patek

[rpryan55]

Patek Philippe is opening a boutique in Tiffany's of New York - this first is an experiment with the hope that Tiffany stores in other locations will also carry the line exclusively. This could mean that Patek Philippe will only sell their watches at Tiffany's - thus eliminating any discounts you may be able to squeeze from your AD. This could also signal a sea change in the way high end watches are marketed. Another gimmick to keep up the exclusivity of the brand, I suppose (although I don't know if Tiffany has that much cache' anymore), but what could it mean for other brands?

Tiffany and Patek have had a long working relationship, with Tiffany being a very early AD for Patek watches, and also some co-signed models in extremely limited editions I believe. To many in the collecting world, it's been seen as a consolidation of a long and fruitful relationship.

It opens a week from Thursday April 24th, I've planned to take the day off and check it out. They will have pieces from the Patek Museum on display for a few days. It will also be coming to LA in a few weeks (the museum pieces).

p.s. it is funny seeing the avatar above of Darth Vadar and in the following post the name of Jedi below. It made me laugh.
