About the Item

A Study In Rarity And Material This is a piece of high jewelry from the 1960s that happens to tell time. Tishman & Lipp produced very few watches with exotic stone dials, and opal is among the most challenging and scarce materials to work with. These were not standard production items but special-order creations that combined the firm's gem-setting expertise with Swiss watchmaking. The internal research on this watch confirms its extreme rarity, with only a handful of similar examples known to exist. It is an intersection of mid-century design, precious materials, and genuine scarcity. An Object Of Art And Light The design is pure 1960s cocktail glamour. An integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet flows directly into an asymmetric case, surrounding the opal dial with a bezel of 34 brilliant-cut diamonds. The opal itself is the centerpiece, a stone prized for its play of color and iridescence. The entire watch is conceived as a single, flowing piece of jewelry, a format that requires immense skill to execute. It wears less like a watch and more like a significant gold bracelet with a secret. Good Condition With A Noted Flaw The watch is in very good condition, showing signs of having been worn only a few times. The 18K yellow gold case and integrated bracelet are clean and well-preserved, and the case appears unpolished. The opal dial is cracked into three large sectors. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear. For The Woman Who Values The Unique This is not a watch for telling time at a glance. It is for someone who understands and collects vintage jewelry at the highest level. The manual-wind movement requires a daily interaction, a quiet moment of winding that connects the owner to the object. It’s a statement piece that is also a piece of history from one of the world's most important jewelers, a wearable artifact that is highly unlikely to be seen on another wrist.
