The Tiffany Oracle represents one of the finest achievements in modern watchmaking. As one of the world's first and only one-minute mystery tourbillons, this watch redefines the limits of traditional and modern watchmaking. Completed in 2006, and intended as an exhibition timepiece for Tiffany & Co. New York, the Tiffany Oracle was made in only one example.

The Tiffany Oracle is a precision instrument designed and constructed by some of the world's most talented watchmakers from Tiffany & Co. in collaboration with Vaucher in Switzerland. With a timeless design that reflects Tiffany & Co.'s heritage of discreet elegance, the watch delivers the highest level of accuracy in timekeeping combined with the simple elegance of a massive cushion case.

Made in the tradition of superlative one-off timepieces including the Henry Graves Patek Philippe Supercomplication, the Tiffany Oracle is a unique timepiece that has been unknown to the market until now. This watch will be a trophy to watch collectors who want to own one of the rarest and finest made watches produced in the new millennium.
