Tiffany & Co Moon Phase Annual Calendar

Overview

The Tiffany & Co Moon Phase Annual Calendar is an elegant and uncommon dress watch that combines classical gold-case styling with a sophisticated calendar display. Presented in pristine condition, this beautiful example is fitted with a 39mm 18K gold case and a refined silver dial, creating a poised presence that is formal without feeling overstated.

Its appeal lies in the balance between visual restraint and mechanical complexity. Applied gold Roman numerals, gold hands, a moon-phase aperture at six o’clock and discreet calendar indications give the watch a strong sense of occasion, while the 39mm format keeps it contemporary and versatile. It is a compelling choice for a collector seeking an unusual Tiffany & Co timepiece beyond the most familiar dress-watch designs.

The dial displays the days of the week and months through apertures, with date numerals arranged around the engine-turned centre. Together, these indications create a structured composition that rewards close inspection. The watch is supplied with its original box, adding to its presentation and desirability.

Brand and reference history

Tiffany & Co occupies a distinctive position in luxury watchmaking. Although best known internationally for jewellery and its longstanding influence on American design, the house has also produced and retailed watches with a clear emphasis on proportion, finishing and enduring style. A Tiffany & Co signed timepiece therefore carries an identity that is immediately recognisable, yet often feels more individual than a conventional Swiss luxury watch.

This Moon Phase Annual Calendar reflects the brand’s preference for understated sophistication. Rather than relying on excessive decoration, it places the emphasis on a beautifully balanced dial, precious-metal casework and useful calendar information. The result is a dress watch with a distinctly horological character, positioned within the broader world of complications while retaining the elegance expected of Tiffany & Co.

Annual-calendar watches occupy an especially attractive place in a collection because they offer more than basic timekeeping without becoming visually crowded. Their displays are practical, their mechanisms are intellectually engaging and their design often remains more wearable than that of a large multi-function chronograph or highly technical sports watch. This example expresses that idea in a particularly refined form.

Dial, hands and design detail

The silver dial provides a calm, luminous background for the applied gold Roman numerals. Its restrained colour palette gives the watch a formal character, while the contrast between the silver surface and warm gold details ensures that the indications remain legible. The numerals are traditional in spirit, but the overall layout has a distinctly modern sense of proportion.

At six o’clock, the moon-phase display introduces the most immediately recognisable complication. Its placement anchors the lower half of the dial and provides a pleasing counterpoint to the calendar apertures above. The changing lunar indication adds visual interest without disrupting the watch’s dress-watch discipline, making it as attractive when admired at rest as it is useful in daily wear.

The days of the week and months are shown through apertures, giving the upper dial a clean and architectural appearance. Date numerals are arranged around the engine-turned centre, allowing the calendar information to follow the circular form of the dial rather than competing with it. This detail is particularly important: the textured centre adds depth and craft, while the surrounding date scale helps define the watch’s visual rhythm.

Gold hands complete the composition. Their warmth echoes the case and Roman numerals, creating a coherent design from the centre of the dial to its outer edge. The combination of polished gold, silver dial furniture and engine turning is elegant rather than flamboyant, making this a watch that can be appreciated across a range of formal settings.

Case, bracelet and wearability

The 39mm case is crafted in 18K gold, giving the watch both material presence and a soft, luxurious visual character. Gold reflects light differently from steel or platinum, and its warmer tone complements the applied numerals and hands particularly effectively. The case size is well judged for a complicated dress watch: substantial enough to show the dial clearly, yet restrained enough to preserve a traditional sense of elegance.

The case design supports the dial rather than distracting from it. Its purpose is to frame the complications and provide a polished setting for the silver face, while maintaining the slender, composed attitude associated with fine dress watches. The precious-metal construction also gives the watch a satisfying sense of occasion on the wrist, whether worn with tailoring or used to elevate a more relaxed ensemble.

This example is supplied with its original box. The available information does not specify a separate bracelet, so prospective purchasers should confirm the current strap and buckle configuration with our team before purchase. In either case, the watch’s 39mm proportions make it easy to pair with a range of leather straps, allowing its character to be adjusted from formal and traditional to more contemporary.

Movement and technical specification

The watch’s defining technical feature is its annual-calendar and moon-phase functionality. An annual calendar is designed to account for the differing lengths of the months, requiring adjustment only at the transition through February under normal use. The moon-phase display adds an astronomical indication, visually tracking the lunar cycle and giving the dial one of its most distinctive points of interest.

Because the supplied notes do not identify the movement calibre, power reserve, frequency, water resistance or exact adjustment procedure, those specifications should not be assumed. The watch should be assessed on its individual movement and service history, and our specialists can provide the confirmed technical details available for this particular example. This approach is important with complicated pre-owned watches, where precise information is more valuable than generic assumptions.

Calendar complications reward thoughtful ownership. Setting and correcting the indications should always be carried out in accordance with the movement’s instructions, particularly around the date-change period. If the watch has stopped or the calendar display is significantly out of alignment, professional advice is preferable to forcing correctors or operating them at an unsuitable time.

From a collecting perspective, the appeal of the mechanism is not simply the number of indications shown. It is the way the calendar and moon phase have been integrated into an elegant, wearable design. The watch offers mechanical interest for an enthusiast while remaining sufficiently restrained for someone whose priority is a sophisticated everyday dress watch.

Sizing and how it wears

At 39mm, this Tiffany & Co is comfortably positioned between traditional dress-watch sizing and the larger dimensions now common in contemporary collections. It should sit with clarity on a wide range of wrists, presenting the dial openly without overwhelming the wearer. The size also gives the Roman numerals, moon phase and calendar apertures enough room to remain visually distinct.

The 18K gold case adds presence beyond the measurement alone. Gold has a natural visual richness, so the watch can feel notably luxurious without requiring a larger diameter. Its formal character makes it a natural companion to a suit, dinner jacket or tailored shirt, but the 39mm case prevents it from appearing excessively ceremonial when worn with smart-casual clothing.

Wrist comfort will depend on the fitted strap, buckle and the individual case profile, details that should be confirmed before purchase. A well-chosen leather strap can emphasise the watch’s classical credentials, while a smoother or darker option may give the silver and gold dial a sharper contemporary edge. The watch’s neutral colour scheme makes such changes particularly effective.

As with any pre-owned precious-metal watch, care should be taken around hard surfaces and daily activities that may mark the case. Its best role is as a refined complication for considered wear: a watch to enjoy frequently, but with the awareness that its gold surfaces and detailed dial deserve appropriate respect.

Collectability and market value

The collectability of this Tiffany & Co Moon Phase Annual Calendar comes from the combination of several qualities that are rarely found together. It is a Tiffany & Co watch, it uses an 18K gold case, it offers an annual calendar and moon phase, and it presents those functions in a restrained 39mm dress-watch format. Each element broadens its appeal, while the combination gives it a more distinctive identity than a simple time-only model.

It will particularly interest collectors who value design-led complications. The watch does not seek attention through size or overt technical styling; instead, its character emerges through the considered relationship between the silver dial, gold details, engine turning and calendar displays. That quiet confidence is part of its appeal and allows it to sit comfortably alongside both classic and contemporary pieces.

At £11,500, the watch occupies a meaningful position within the luxury pre-owned market. Value is shaped not only by the precious-metal case and complication set, but also by condition, completeness, service history, originality and the strength of the Tiffany & Co name. The supplied original box is a positive aspect of its presentation, while prospective buyers should request confirmation of any additional accessories and documented servicing.

For collectors comparing Tiffany & Co watches, this model offers a more complex and unusual proposition than a standard dress watch. It has the versatility to be worn, the visual detail to be studied and the rarity to add character to a thoughtfully assembled collection.

Authenticity, condition and servicing

This example is described as being in pristine condition. That is an important part of its appeal, particularly for an 18K gold watch, where case edges, polished surfaces and the clarity of the dial can have a significant effect on overall impression. The supplied original box further supports the watch’s presentation, although the exact contents of the set should be confirmed with our team.

Condition descriptions are necessarily complemented by an in-person or detailed photographic assessment. As with every pre-owned watch, minor signs associated with handling, storage or previous use may be present unless expressly ruled out. Our specialists can discuss the case, crystal, dial, hands, movement performance and accessories in greater detail before you commit to purchase.

Authenticity is assessed through the watch as a whole, including its Tiffany & Co identity, case, dial, hands, complication layout and movement. We do not publish serial numbers or provenance that have not been supplied, and buyers should rely on confirmed details rather than assumptions. Any available paperwork, service documentation or additional accessories can be clarified on request.

Complicated watches benefit from appropriate maintenance, even when they appear pristine externally. The annual calendar and moon-phase functions should operate correctly, but the presence or absence of a recent service should be established before purchase. If servicing is required in the future, it should be entrusted to a suitably qualified specialist familiar with precious-metal cases and calendar mechanisms.
