Nothing.

In fact, that is exactly what has happened routinely. without robust provenance that describes the item exactly, you have absolutely nothing.

I think you should enjoy your tiffany dialed watch, but be prepared for a tough sell when you get bored with it.

I completely agree with you, and as you said I'm ready to a tough sell in case I want to get rid off it, actually my Seadweller is so beautiful and with a nice patina, that often I regret the T stamp on the dial.
Having said that, if by any miracle RSC was "hypothetically" able to tell me in writing (I know, impossible...:( that that particular serial number was indeed originally sent to Tiffany, the situation will be different in my eye/opinion.

As I said this is all hypothetical because Rolex will never tell me that, even though I believe they have record of what when where, but not where the watch was actually sold because of the AD trading/exchange
