Patek Philippe

Hi - I wanted to get purists opinions on how they feel about having "Tiffany&Co" on a modern Patek dial? Do you feel this makes the Patek more special? Do you feel this just clutters the dial and the overall design of the watch? I was looking at a 5960P t... 

Insofar as ambivalence is the state of having simultaneous conflicting feelings, it seems a good way to describe it. I personally dislike it on modern watches since it adds clutter and my primary "brand value" comes from the watch rather than the retailer... 

I'd prefer it, primarily because of a long affection for the service and values at Tiffany. Whether I would pay more is a different question. Park

Yes you can request that Tiffany is not on the dial. But if it is already there they are unlikely to replace a dial. Where on the dial the "Tiffany" is placed is determined by Patek. Which watches are Stamped with the Tiffany name is mostly determined by ... 

but I know my wife would appreciate it.

3923. On that watch, the placement and the size of the lettering is not disruptive to its appearance, but I would rather it not be there if I had a choice. There just seems so much fuss about dials and the value demanded for some pieces ... simply amazing...
