1940 Watch For Sale on 1stDibs

Find the exact 1940 watch you’re shopping for in the variety available on 1stDibs. Every item for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using gold, 18k gold and stainless steel. In our selection of items, you can find a vintage example as well as a contemporary version. Finding the perfect 1940 watch may mean sifting through those created during different time periods — you can find an early version that dates to the 18th Century and a newer variation that were made as recently as the 21st Century. Finding an appealing 1940 watch — no matter the origin — is easy, but Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega each produced a popular version that is worth a look. A 1940 watch can make for a versatile accessory, but a selection from our variety of 173 diamond versions can add an especially stylish touch. A round cut version of this piece has appeal, but there are also single cut and baguette cut versions for sale. When shopping for a 1940 watch, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for unisex or women today than there are for men.
