Thanks for your reply Joepeny!
You mention 2 additional important factors in addition to the aesthetic value (or not) of having co-branding.
One, exclusivity. Take 5711/1A, relatively (to demand) low productions then add Tiffany" and it is far more exclusive. An extreme example of this in vintage is 2499 made in 349 examples over 35 years. Add "Cartier" and !!!!!!! Many collectors want something that sets their watch apart and makes it highly limited or unique.
Two, a close association with Tiffany or a particular sales person there; or fond memories of the specific purchase at Tiffany (maybe having been purchased on a fabulous vacation, or in celebration of something.) Then you seeTiffany on the dial and that warm feeling returns.

So, I wholeheartedly agree with you!

Significance of Tiffany dial Patek
Hi everyone What's the significance of a Patek with the Tiffany and co on the dial. How much value does it add to the watch ....
That's a beautiful Nautilus version to enjoy
the rose gold and strap 5712 is a very different watch from the steel ones. Is this one yours? For your question, there was a post dealing with it on Purist before summer. Hard to find the exact definition but it seems that Tiffany can make printed their ...
5712R
Yes this is my 5712R.I wasn\'t looking for a Tiffany dial but this one came up by chance
Tiffany printing is purely a matter of taste.
According to Tiffany, they are allowed to put their logo to all other Pateks except Grand Complications. Still they sometimes, "by accident", print also the Grand Complication; mostly perpetual calendars. Some people like Tiffany logo and are willing to p...
There are a lot of collectors who collect "Tiffany Pateks" and will pay
a significant premium especially if "Tiffany" is printed on the dial. It is important to distinguish between vintage and modern. Regarding vintage, many retailers were allowed to have their name on the dial. Cartier and Tiffany dials are the most highly p...
It is the madness of the exhaustive search for exclusivity
On a vintage watch, okay yes, I can accept the argument that the additional retailer branding or state symbol (think of the Khanjar) sets the watch apart even more and so there is a premium for it. You will not find it being made anymore obviously and it ...

I've heard not much at the boutique.
However, yes it's a matter of taste. I was told the higher end complications will not have this because there simply is not enough room on the dials too.
No real value on modern Pateks
As anyone can take their watch purchased from Tif and get it printed on dial. Thus can easily be common. On vintage timepieces it could add value.
No added value for me.
Some like it, but for me it's a deal breaker. Don't care for the co-branding at all.
