Art Deco Tiffany & Co. diamond, emerald and platinum wristwatch. A sublime period piece by a great House, this is an elegant and striking accent for the lady's wrist. Fine natural Colombian emeralds weighing an estimated 1.30 cts. All of the 20 emeralds match well in their vivid green color. These emeralds are accented with white diamonds. The 100 diamonds are estimated to weigh 1.54 cts., with a total fine gem weight of 2.84 cts. The watch is hand engraved on the verso as well as the sides. The winding mechanism is original. The mechanical movement is by C.H. Meylan, an early and extremely fine maker of watch movements. As is true of all of our watches, this has been cleaned and regulated by an expert watch-maker and is guaranteed for a year.
This watch is 6. 3/4 inches long and in fine condition.
