Description
This is a rare and beautiful Tiffany & Co gents vintage watch, dating from the 1960s and in very good condition, with the minor wear you would expect. It features a heavy solid 14ct gold case, original winding crown, a very clean dial, and a quality 17 jewel Swiss movement. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in very good working order. The watch comes complete with a leather strap, and a new, quality presentation case. It will provide a strong financial investment.
My asking price is below the value of the watch, given the continual rise in value of Tiffany & Co vintage watches of this quality. Such is the high quality of the watch, I will include a six month written guarantee on the movement, which is long enough for you to assess the working order. Also, I offer a full refund if you are not entirely happy, as long as the watch is returned within seven days if UK customer, fourteen days if overseas, in the same condition. Please feel free to view the watch in central London.
The solid 14ct gold case is good, bright condition with a little wear on the bezel that can be polished out by a jeweller if you wish. The outside back of the case is in excellent gleaming condition with no personal inscription. It measures 32mm wide, excluding the original unsigned winding crown and pushers x 39.5mm long, including the lugs. The back closes tightly and the inside carries Swiss hallmarks for solid 14ct gold. There is a mark in the inside back of the case but this does not in any way show on the outside.
The dial is very clean and is signed ‘Tiffany & Co’. The original hands, including centre-seconds hand, are in good unbent condition and the lens is very clear.
The original hand-wound 17 jewel movement was made for Tiffany by respected Swiss makers Alpina Watch Co. It is in excellent, clean condition, and is signed 'Alpina Watch Co’, ‘Swiss Made Fab Suisse’, and ‘219029’. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in very good working order.
This lovely watch is on a brown leather strap and comes complete with a new, quality presentation case, for safekeeping.
A superb collection-standard vintage watch from one of watch history's most exclusive names. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
