Tiffany & Co. Acquires Historic Titanic Pocket Watch for $1.97 Million
Tiffany & Co. has set a new record with the acquisition of a rare 18k gold pocket watch for $1.97 million. The timepiece, once owned by Captain Arthur H. Rostron of the RMS Carpathia, was a gift from three Titanic survivors—Mrs. John B. Thayer, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, and Mrs. George D. Widener—who expressed their gratitude for his heroic efforts in rescuing passengers after the Titanic sank.
The pocket watch, purchased from Henry Aldridge and Son Ltd., is engraved with a heartfelt message from the survivors and features the monogram “AHR” on its caseback. This historic artifact honors Captain Rostron’s courage and pivotal role in saving hundreds of lives. Christopher Young, Vice President of Creative Visual Merchandising at Tiffany & Co., emphasized the significance of the acquisition, stating that it highlights the brand’s long-standing connection to history and its role in the luxury world.
