Generic bracelet

Extremely rare piece! Since I purchased it without papers, I had the watch appraised by an accredited expert (accredited by the expert council of the central association of German jewelers). A detailed appraisal is available. Condition according to the appraisal: 1 = very good The stainless steel bracelet is a replacement strap without any brand markings. The dial is double-signed, as the watch was produced exclusively for the "Tiffany & Co." flagship store in New York with co-branding.
