Mail Stop 3561 							January 25, 2006 Mr. James N. Fernandez Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Tiffany & Co. 727 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10022 	Re:	Tiffany & Co. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2005 		Filed April 14, 2005 Forms 10-Q for Fiscal Quarters Ended April 30, 2005, July 31, 2005 and October 31, 2005 		File No. 1-09494 Dear Mr. Fernandez: We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. We have limited our review of your filing to those issues we have addressed in our comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your documents in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. 	Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2005 Item 9A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 29 1. We note your disclosure that your "chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, Registrant`s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC`s rules and forms." Revise to clarify, if true, that your officers concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that you file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to your management, including your chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. See Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). 2. We note your statement that a "control system, irrespective of how well it is designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance, and cannot guarantee, that it will succeed in its stated objectives." Please revise to state clearly, if true, that your disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and that your principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. In the alternative, remove the reference to the level of assurance of your disclosure controls and procedures. Please refer to Section II.F.4 of Management`s Reports on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Periodic Reports, SEC Release No. 33-8238, available on our website at <http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/33-8238.htm>. Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended April 30, 2005 Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended July 31, 2005 Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended October 31, 2005 Item 4. Controls and Procedures, page 25 (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 25 3. We note your statement that your chief executive officer and your chief financial officer concluded that "the Company`s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed and are being operated in a manner that provides reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC`s rules and forms." It does not appear that your certifying officers have reached a conclusion that your disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Please revise to address your officers` conclusions regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures. 4. In addition, revise to clarify, if true, that your officers concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that you file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to your management, including your chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. See Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). 5. We note your statement that a "control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected." Please revise to state clearly, if true, that your disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and that your principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. In the alternative, remove the reference to the level of assurance of your disclosure controls and procedures. Please refer to Section II.F.4 of Management`s Reports on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Periodic Reports, SEC Release No. 33-8238, available on our website at <http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/33-8238.htm>. 6. Please note that Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K requests disclosure of any changes (not just significant changes) in a company`s internal control over financial reporting occurring during the last quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company`s internal control over financial reporting. Please revise your disclosure to confirm that there were no changes in your internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during your last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the company`s internal control over financial reporting. * * * * As appropriate, please amend your Forms 10-K and 10-Q and respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments. 	We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all information required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that they have provided all information investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made. 	In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that * the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings; * staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filings; and * the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filings or in response to our comments on your filings.
