Ladies Art Deco Watch - Platinum \u0026 Diamond","description":"Like today, in the 1920's, no name better captured the idea of embracing the best life had to offer than that of Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of their special offerings to their most discriminating female clients was a line of jeweled watches emblazoned with the Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. name on the dial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAlthough the maker's name was often hidden, the retailer contracted with a number of the world's fine watch and jewelry making firms to produce these treasured timepieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe exclusive, lady's wristwatch featured in today's offering dramatically illustrates why Tiffany's vintage watches are sought-after by women of distinction, Hollywood actresses, and any woman desiring to wear a world-class timepiece. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginally crafted, assembled and decorated by the hands of elite watchmakers and jewelers, Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. spared no expense in creating this gem which was destined for the U.S. market. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe centerpiece of the watch are its two large marquise diamonds that weigh nearly a carat together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCrafted from solid platinum and bejeweled with an amazing fifty high quality, original diamonds totaling approximately two carats, the beautiful original case made for Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. embodies the height of elegance and refined taste. They have fire and sparkle one would expect from original Tiffany diamonds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOur photos couldn't begin to do it justice. We have owned dozens of vintage ladies Tiffany diamond watches over the last two decades, and this is the most impressive one that has passed through these halls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn addition to the stunning case, the high-grade baguette movement employs some of finest Swiss technology from the era, insuring that the mechanism's timekeeping will meet the same high standard as the case design and construction. It was originally adjusted to five positions like very fine watches from Patek, AP, and the like.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe were fortunate to acquire this exclusive lady's timepiece in such wonderful condition down to its gorgeously ornate clasp. The original, platinum and diamond case is better than near mint, indicative of a watch worn with respect for its rarity and value. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe approximately 100 year old silver dial shows only light signs of aging. And at the right viewing angle, the wonderful original blue steel hands with an uncommon shape really show their color. The extra-fine, Merimont movement made for Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. is very clean and running strong. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTwo of our Master Watchmakers worked for the last six months to restore the movement of this special watch to breathe new life into it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. It included meticulously custom fabricating two copies of a the stem to the perfect quality of the original, installing a new correct mainspring that should power it well for many years, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $1995 value). We made a second stem for the buyer to keep with the watch in case it is ever needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe final servicing was performed by our Master Watchmaker who worked for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center and also has done authorized work for the Richemont brands including Cartier, Vacheron \u0026amp; Constantin, and others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you are looking for a one-of-a-kind treasure for that special someone in your life, this is it. Modern Tiffany watches don't come close to matching the charm and romance of this century old original. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note: Several similar watches are published in John Loring's work Tiffany Timepieces, 2004, pp. 126-127.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.

As mentioned, one used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.\/Merimont \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Switzerland \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYear built:\u003c\/b\u003e 1920's\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/b\u003e Hours and minutes \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDesigned for:\u003c\/b\u003e Women \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase material:\u003c\/b\u003e Platinum, set with 60 diamonds \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase markings (inside):\u003c\/b\u003e PLATINUM, A.W.C.
