ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING AND INCREDIBLY RARE!

This auction is for the GORGEOUS Antique Victorian Authentic TIFFANY & CO tiny ladies' pocketwatch pictured as well as the TIFFANY & CO. Box from the Paris Expo in the late 1800's!

Measures 22mm x 33mm. Weighs 17.6 grams.

Back is mark "TIFFANY & CO" "K18" and "1262"

The front of the pocketwatch features a monogram or initial "M" made up of tiny pearls.

I took this to the antique's roadshow a few years ago because I am no expert on watches. Both watch appraisers admired it and said that it is a VERY rare small sized ladies' pocketwatch. They were impressed with the box and said that it is appropriate for this watch and that they should always be kept together (which I did, hehe). They took out the mechanism to see if it was made by Patek Phillip; but it was not. It said "TIFFANY & CO" inside actually. I decided to keep it in my collection; but now a few years later I am needing some money; so here's your chance to snatch up a deal!!

It is (as it was when I took it to antique's roadshow) missing the crystal cover and the minute hand. It doesn't wind or run; but could probably be repaired by someone who knows how to do that sort of thing. The appraisers did say that due to the extremely rare, small size... the crystal would almost certainly have to be made for it.

The box is burgundy or maroon and it says:

"TIFFANY & CO. UNION SQUARE, NEW YORK,

221&221a REGENT ST. AVE DE L'OPERA 36BIS

             LONDON.______PARIS.

                   GRAND PRIX

   EXPOSITIONS  UNIVERSELLES.

                  1878 & 1889."
