In the 1920's, no name better captured the idea of embracing the best life had to offer than that of Tiffany & Co. One of the company's select offerings was a line of watches emblazoned with the Tiffany & Co. name on the dial. Although the maker's name were often hidden, the retailer contracted with the world's finest watch and jewelry making firms to produce these treasured timepieces.
Today these special watches are sought-after by women of distinction, Hollywood actresses, and any lady desiring to wear a world-class timepiece.
For this special piece Tiffany partnered with one of the very fine watchmakers in the world at the time, Zenith Watch Co.
Bejewelled with approx. close to one carat of old mine cut diamonds, the finely decorated octagonal platinum case is stunning!
It is in very pleasing condition, appearing to have been worn carefully in appreciation of its quality and value.
Its silver Tiffany & Co. dial has been previously restored. Its original Zenith movement is adjusted to three positions like only the very high grade watches from the era. Its platinum and diamond case is better than near mint.
It has just been serviced and is keeping time. It comes fitted with a period correct grosgrain ribbon bracelet and 12K solid gold buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
