Like today, in the 1960’s no name better captured the idea of embracing the best life had to offer than that of Tiffany & Co.

One of their special offerings were Tiffany & Co. branded watches, many of which were made for the company by one of the fine manufacturers.

Although 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.

Today’s offering showcases this classically elegant Tiffany & Co. ladies dress watch made by Universal Geneve for the prestigious retailer.

Since 1894, the fine Swiss firm Universal Geneve has produced very fine and collectible timekeeping instruments. The company that popularized the idea of the modern chronograph wristwatch, Universal Geneve has produced a number of exceptional timers, including the renowned Tri-Compax. The superior quality of their vintage offerings have earned them a place alongside those of the world’s fine watchmakers.

With its understated round case and dial which juxtapose nicely to the more strikingly elegant bracelet, it showcases a classicly vintage style with a sophisticated and charming presence.

We were fortunate to obtain it with all of its original parts down to the dial, hands, diamond faceted crystal and even winding crown. It is in excellent condition, appearing to have been worn carefully in appreciation of its quality and value.

Its 14K gold case presents in just short of mint condition. Its original and untouched silver Tiffany & Co dial is better than near mint. And its bracelet is in excellent condition with only light wear. The original Florentine texturing is very strong.

One of our Master Watchmakers has freshly serviced it. We have also tested the watch on a machine that spins it in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist, and its fine, handwound movement continues to keep very accurate time.

For the finishing touch we have meticulously detailed it 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 Certificate of Authenticity.

If you are looking for a special treasure for someone in your life, this is it. Modern Tiffany watches don’t match the charm and romance of this vintage original.
