Tiffany & Co. 14ct gold & diamond watch - c1950s

Description

This is an absolutely stunning Tiffany & Co. ladies vintage watch, dating from the 1950s and in virtual mint condition throughout, far more glittery than photographed. The watch is very rare and is set with over 1.5 carats of diamonds (18 diamonds in total). The diamonds are absolutely top quality, as you would expect from Tiffany - far more glittery in reality - and the two end diamonds weigh half a carat each. The value of the diamonds alone is very high. The watch features a gleaming solid 14ct white gold case, original winding crown, a mint clean dial and a high-grade Swiss hand-wound 17 jewel movement. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in good working order. The watch comes on its original solid 14ct white gold cocktail strap, which is in excellent gleaming condition, and comes complete with a new, quality presentation case for wrapping as the perfect gift. Tiffany & Co. are of course one of history’s most famous luxury brands and this is your chance to own a piece of Tiffany history.

My asking price is well below the value of the watch, given the continual rise in value of Tiffany vintage watches of this quality and rarity. A Bond Street jeweller would not hesitate to put a price of up to £8,000 on the watch. 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. Contact me if you would like to view the watch in central London.

The solid 14ct white gold case is in virtual mint gleaming condition and is set with 18 glittery genuine diamonds, totalling over 1.5 carats. The end two weigh half a carat each. The diamonds are top quality, just beautiful. The case measures 16mm wide, excluding the original unsigned winding crown x 29.3mm long, including the lugs. The back closes correctly and the outside back is signed for 14ct gold. The inside is signed with the ‘23682’ case reference number and is signed for 14ct gold.

The dial is in mint clean condition and is signed ‘Tiffany & Co’. The original white gold hands are in excellent unbent condition, and the lens is very clear.

The original hand-wound 17 jewel movement was Swiss-made for Tiffany and is in excellent bright condition. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in very good working order for its age.

This lovely watch is on its original solid 14ct white gold cocktail strap, which is in mint condition. The strap and watch measure 147mm from tip to tip, which is the length to fit around the wrist. The watch comes complete with a new, quality presentation case, for safekeeping and for easy wrapping as a gift to truly remember.

A superb collection-standard vintage watch from one of watch history's most famous names; full of charm and elegance. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
