Tiffany & Co. Scroll Lugs Watch
The Tiffany & Co. Ref. 3454 with scroll lugs is a graceful expression of 1940s design, where elegant proportions meet handcrafted detail. The 25 mm 14k yellow-gold case is distinguished by its sculptural scroll lugs, framing a silver dial with applied yellow-gold numerals that give the watch a refined and legible presence. Powered by a manual-wind movement and worn on a leather strap, this piece embodies the quiet confidence of vintage Tiffany watchmaking: subtle, sculpted, and timeless in its restraint.
Excellent vintage condition with very minor wear
Produced in the 1940s, this Tiffany & Co. watch reflects an era when American fine jewelry houses were translating artisanal aesthetics into wristwatch form. The defining feature of this reference, the sculpted scroll lugs- introduces a decorative motif rooted in classical ornament, giving the watch a distinctive silhouette without overwhelming its overall harmony.
The applied yellow-gold numerals against the silver dial combine clarity with elegance, a hallmark of Tiffany’s approach to watch design in this period. While not as widely documented as some contemporaneous references, the scroll-lug motif signals a unique design language that bridges jewelry and horology. In excellent vintage condition with very minor wear, this Ref. 3454 stands as a refined and expressive example of mid-century artistry- suited to collectors who appreciate subtle detail and classical proportion.
