Title: Rare 1920's Silver Tiffany and Company Wrist Watch Description: GOOD condition. Very rare 1920's triple signed Tiffany wrist watch. Perfect porcelain dial and nice high grade Swiss movement (probably IWC, Agassiz or some other well known maker) although the nickel finish appears washed out some (dull in brightness) from almost 100 years of servicing. The case is in good shape but does have a few dings in the hinged back which is also signed and does have an engraving of initials on it. Its been buffed quite a bit (the whole case). I would be comfortable charging double for this watch in a fancy shop or if the condition was slightly better. As it is I think this is a good price. Add $75 for service although it runs fine and comes from a collector who takes care of his watches. The crystal is glass and if you look closely you might see some discoloration where the crystal fits into the bezel. This is just old glue from the last time the watch had service or the crystal replaced. Silver will patina to black but not discolor in this fashion/brown. The hinged wire lugs are affixed with a special brand new open ended Hirsch strap made for this kind of watch. Original crown too in my opinion. Measures 31 mm wide (not including the crown) x 40ish mm long x 10 mm thick. {$675} Item #5351 HOLD
