Since Rolex and Tiffany cut ties in 1990, Rolex dials that have been stamped with the Tiffany & Co. name have become extremely collectible over the last two decades. While supplies on the secondary market have dwindled over the past few years, this makes for a very collectible and valuable watch within the vintage Rolex collecting world.
This particular example is in excellent original condition. The dial is fantastic and hands match very well and have started to become corroded which is commensurate with models of this timeframe. The case is sharp and only shows minimal signs of polishing with clear numbers at 12 and 6 o'clock. Additionally the original Tiffany control number is scratched into the rear lug as seen in the photos. The bezel has faded to a deep midnight blue and the original bracelet is tight with full links and diver extension. The movement is running perfectly and keeping excellent time.
this is a grail watch for certain amongst many experienced vintage watch collectors and what sets this particular example above the rest is the dial - check around and you will notice many Tiffany branded matt dials for some reason have lost their lume or basically fallen apart. This one is simply put minty
