Notes

As a well-known jewellery retailer, Tiffany & Co. sold timepieces from a variety of manufacturers, including Rolex. Around the late 1950’s, Tiffany & Co. began printing their name on the dials of the watches sold in their stores. The very first Tiffany-branded dials had the Tiffany name added by hand at their New York City location; however, in later years, much of the printing was actually done in Geneva, Switzerland.
