Tiffany and Co. Movado Platinum and Diamond Cocktail Watch, 1930s

Dealer description — Huntington Company

History and Significance This platinum Movado was produced for Tiffany & Co. during the 1930s, a period when Tiffany frequently partnered with elite Swiss makers to produce watches that met its own aesthetic and technical standards. The result is a piece that feels unmistakably Art Deco, defined by its elongated rectangular case, architectural bracelet construction, and refined dial layout. Watches of this era were designed as jewelry as much as timekeepers, and this example captures that balance well, combining fine watchmaking with high jewelry craftsmanship. Co-signed pieces from this period remain especially desirable due to their limited production and strong historical context. Writer’s Thoughts This is a watch that reads more like a piece of wearable architecture than a traditional wristwatch. The proportions are elegant, the bracelet drapes naturally, and the raised enamel dial adds depth that photographs rarely do justice. It feels deliberate and sophisticated, with a presence that comes from design rather than size. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This watch is offered in honest condition.
