A fresh to market, all original 24mm x 41mm solid 18 karat yellow gold Longines Hunter Case watch featuring a never before seen Tiffany & Co branded dial. The 9.47N caliber Longines movement was originally sold to A. Wittnauer & Co (who was the US distributor for the brand) on the 20th of June 1929, and is accompanied by an archive extract. 

The Tiffany & Co Longines features an 18 karat yellow gold Hunter case with geometric hand engraving along the sides and lugs, accented by floral engraved stations where the hinge and cover push push buttons are. The case was produced by A. Wittnauer & Co, as indicated by a Hallmark on the inside of the case, and was exclusive to the North American market.

The possibly piece unique dial is vertically brushed silver with a yellow gold hand engraved “Tiffany & Co” applied plaque, indicating that the watch was retailed by the famed Jeweler during the height of their prestige. The dial also features applied yellow gold Breguet style Arabic numeral hour markers, accented by gold spade hands with a sweep seconds subdial. The caliber 9.47N movement still bears its wonderful finishing, is winding and running, but with unknown service history. 

Only four examples of Longines Hunter case Tanks are known, one of which also features a North American Wittnauer case retailed in Mexico City. This is the only known example retailed by Tiffany with a Tiffany & Co dial. 
The Longines is mounted on an unworn quick-release, Olive Green suede leather strap from @hideandalloy , which is secured by a steel tang buckle. 

Overall, the Longines remains in as found condition, and has been well preserved as it seemingly has spent the last few decades in a drawer.
