How Much is a Watch Serial Number?
Finding the Right wrist-watches for You
Antique, new and vintage wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.
Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.
Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.
Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.
In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.
Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.
Find antique, new and vintage wristwatches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, you can check a watch's serial number, but the way to do so will vary depending on the maker of your timepiece.

Once you have your serial number, you can then use trusted online resources to learn more about your watch. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of watches from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023Yes, all Omega watches have serial numbers, but where they appear varies. On vintage watches, the number is usually engraved on the inside of the case back.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Yes, most Bvlgari pieces have serial numbers.

- Is a Gucci serial number unique?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023No, a Gucci serial number isn't unique.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022No, Dior bags don't all have serial numbers. In fact, the brand uses date codes in place of them. The date code begins with a two-digit number that represents the manufacturing year. A two-letter code specifying which factory produced the bag comes next. At the end of the date code is a four-number sequence. The first and third numbers correspond to the month of production, and the second and fourth numbers tell you the calendar date. For example, a date code ending in 1212 means the date of production was November 22. On 1stDibs, find a variety of expertly vetted Dior bags.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022All Fendi products come with a card of authenticity, which includes a serial number. It’s important to purchase from a vetted seller or vendor to ensure authenticity.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Fendi belts typically have serial numbers. To find one, look behind the buckle. The number should appear as an engraving on the metal.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To identify a Rolex serial number for a watch made before 2005, look on the lugs on the back of the watch body. The serial number is engraved at 6 o'clock.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022On a Fendi bag made before 2004, you can find the serial number either printed on the back of the leather inside the bag or on a tag sewn into a corner or along a pocket seam. Bags produced from 2004 onward use a holographic badge in place of a traditional serial number. On 1stDibs, find a variety of expertly vetted Fendi bags.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022You can't do a Dior serial number check because bags and other accessories by the brand have date codes rather than numbers. Instead, examine the date code to ensure it consists of a series of two numbers, two letters and four additional numbers separated by dashes. You can also check the stitching and look for logo-embossed hardware to assess authenticity. Shop a range of expertly vetted Dior apparel on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The best way to look up a Gucci serial number depends on the age of the piece. Newer pieces contain an NFC tag that can communicate with a smartphone.
