The watch hangs from a yellow gold filled curb link chain that has a swivel type clasp, but is however unlikely to be original to the watch. The finely crafted pendant watch is made from 18 karat yellow gold and has an enamelled case back and bezel. The yellow gold dial features black Arabic numerals and has a single sunk seconds dial along with the words 'Swiss' and 'Tiffany \u0026amp; Co'. Wound from the crown at 12 o'clock the watch is in working condition however has not been tested for accuracy or been recently serviced. The mechanism is a Longines 17 jewel movement while the inside of the case back is marked 'Made for Tiffany \u0026amp; Co by Wittnauer \u0026amp; Co'. We date this watch to just after World War 1, circa 1915, at which time Tiffany was known to be one of the finest jewellers and retailers in the world. This marvellous piece has some losses to the enamel which we consider to be commensurate with age and do not detract from the beauty of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarked on watch case back:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Made for Tiffany \u0026amp; Co by Wittnauer \u0026amp; Co 1827161 18K Swiss'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarked on watch workings:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Longines W.

The watch has a 48 hour power reserve and features tritium glow in the dark indices. Offered with its original retailing box the watch also has a warranty card from Rolex showing it was serviced in July of 2022 which gave it a 24 month guarantee from the time of service. The case and bracelet of the watch show signs of minor polishing, however this has likely taken place when the watch was serviced by Rolex in 2022. The Polar Explorer was first introduced by Rolex in the 1970s and further expanded their range to include white dialed versions in the 1980s, akin to this example. This particular example is in lovely condition and with its box and warranty card is a great addition to a watch collection or perhaps a starter piece for a Rolex enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDate - 1991\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel - 16570\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial Number - X520415\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions - 40mm case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement - Calibre 3185 31 jewel automatic movement (Oyster Perpetual)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase - Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet - Original Rolex bracelet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal weight of piece - 119.29 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Antique Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50213021417781,"sku":"JW0112","price":13500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/3042\/9254\/files\/Rolex-01.jpg?v=1730869473"}],"url":"https:\/\/theantiqueguild.com.au\/collections\/antique-watches.oembed","provider":"The Antique Guild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
