Layout fix: converted stacked clasp/bracelet images in Bracelets section to a packed gallery -- two thumb|right floats next to a short intro paragraph left dead whitespace before the Early bracelet subsection heading (runbook Sec 3 stacked-pair rule) |
Convert 2 legacy image(s) to WebP |

Rolex Forum documents 16618 dials co-signed "Tiffany & Co." below the coronet and fitted with sapphire and diamond hour markers. These date from the years when Tiffany & Co. was an authorized Rolex dealer and co-signed dials on select references. Surviving examples are rare and the dual-brand provenance drives significant premiums. The co-signature is the thing to authenticate: aftermarket Tiffany-stamped dials exist, and the gap between genuine and fake is wide enough to make faking worthwhile. | Rolex Forum documents 16618 dials co-signed "Tiffany & Co." below the coronet and fitted with sapphire and diamond hour markers.
