Finding the Right Watches for You

Records show that, in Europe, by the 16th century, it was high time for portable clock devices. Right now, perhaps you’re shopping for your own. If so, find a vast range of fashionable and functional antique, vintage and luxury watches on 1stDibs.

While wall-mounted time tellers and grandfather clocks were much more convenient than the sundials of ancient history, watches were becoming crucial for an increasingly connected society whose members learned that the latest advancements in technology meant they could carry devices that kept time to within a minute a day. Tragically, the first pocket watches — albeit an improvement on the accessories that preceded them, which dangled from a chain worn around the neck — didn’t help much as far as accuracy or portability. Focused on style over substance, the upper class frequently carried lavish pieces that ran hours behind. 

Eventually, watches migrated from owners’ pockets to their wrists. 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.

Indeed, although exceedingly practical, the watches of today are far from bland. Bulgari’s iconic 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 watches. You’ll always know what time it is because you won’t be able to tear your eyes away from your new accessory. 

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

When shopping for a watch, 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 exactly what you’re looking for in an unparalleled collection of antique, vintage and luxury watches on 1stDibs that includes Cartier watches, Rolex watches, Patek Philippe watches and more — we promise it will be worth your time.

Questions About 14 Karat Gold Watch
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Yes, 14-karat gold is real. However, it is not pure gold. Instead, 14-karat gold is an alloy made from 58.3% gold and 41.7% other metals. Durable and resistant to fading, 14-karat gold is a popular choice for producing jewelry and watches. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of gold jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    Opinions may vary as to which karat gold is the best for watches. However, many luxury makers opt for 18-karat gold. An alloy that is 75% pure gold, 18-karat gold is more durable than pure 24-karat and 22-karat gold alloys, allowing watches to resist wear and tear. At the same time, 18-karat gold offers more vibrant color than 14-karat and 10-karat alloys. Explore a collection of gold watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The term 14-karat gold plated means that an item has a thin layer of 14-karat gold applied over a base metal like copper or brass. Fourteen-carat gold refers to metal that is 58.5% pure gold and 41.5% alloy. An alloy could be silver, zinc, copper or another metal. Shop a selection of 14-karat gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Whether 14-karat or 18-karat white gold is better for a wedding band depends largely on your preferences. If you like the look of white gold with a warmer tone, you may wish to opt for 18-karat gold because it often appears yellower due to its higher gold content. On the other hand, 14-karat white gold wedding bands tend to be durable, making them a good option for people most concerned with keeping their rings scratch-free. Find an assortment of white gold wedding bands on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
    A 14-karat gold-filled watch is a watch made primarily out of base metals and then finished with a thin layer of gold. The term 14-karat refers to a gold alloy that is 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% other metals. Compared to solid gold watches, gold-filled timepieces are typically more accessibly priced. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of gold watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024
    On a watch, 10-karat gold-filled means that the watch has a specific type of construction executed with a particular material. A gold-filled watch is predominantly a base metal, such as copper, silver or brass. During the crafting process, the watchmaker finishes this base metal with a thin layer of gold. In the case of a 10-karat gold-filled watch, the gold is a 10-karat alloy, meaning it is 41.7% pure gold and 58.3% other metals. Makers can also use other gold alloys, such as 14-karat or 18-karat gold, which are 58.3% and 75% pure gold, respectively. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of gold watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Rolex has made watches of 14k gold in the past. While 18k gold is now standard for most watches and jewelry, including Rolex watches, there are popular models of Rolex watches from its past line-ups that were made of 14k gold. Find vintage and contemporary Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
