Please note we do not guarantee watch movements. Manual winding movement with 171 jewels in running condition at time of cataloging, defect setting system, crown loose. Please note that the movement has not been tested for the accuracy of its time keeping and therefore a service should be carried out in the near future at the buyer's expense. The bracelet watch manufactured circa 1960, has been serviced and resigned by Tiffany in New York in the 2010s. At the same time the previous owner specially commissioned from Tiffany a matching pair of ear clips. Each piece signed Tiffany & Co., Schlumberger Studios and stamped 750 for 18 carat gold. Yellow beryl well matched in colour, with typical inclusions visible under close inspection, minor abrasions and nicks. Scratches to the metal consistent with light use. In very good condition. Total gross weight approximately 151 grams. Cases stamped Tiffany & Co.
