Antique Ladies Watches For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a broad range of antique ladies watches for sale on 1stDibs. All of the items for sale were constructed with extraordinary care, often using Gold, Platinum and 18k Gold.

There have been many well-made iterations of these items over the years, but those made by Rolex, Patek Philippe and Hamilton are often thought to be among the most beautiful. Many pieces in our collection are stylish for most occasions, but Diamond versions, from our inventory of 83, can add a particularly distinctive touch to your look, day or night. There are many round cut, old european cut and baguette cut antique ladies watches for sale. When shopping our range of antique ladies watches, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for men today than there are for women.

How Much are Antique Ladies Watches?

Prices for antique ladies watches start at $198 and top out at $60,695 with these watches, on average, selling for $3,000.

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 Antique Ladies Watches
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, many old watches are worth something. However, values vary greatly based on the maker, the style of the timepiece, how many watches like it were produced and the current level of demand for similar timepieces. Even among watches that generally do have value, the condition of the timepiece will impact the price. A certified appraiser can take a look at your watch and assign an estimated value to it. Shop a collection of watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    At 100 years of age or more, a watch is generally considered an antique. A vintage watch is a timepiece that is at least 20 years old. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique, vintage and modern watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    Some popular watches for men during the 1950s were the Rolex Submariner, the Enicar Sherpa Dive, the Breitling Navitimer, Omega, Constellation and the Rolex GMT-Master. Rolex, Timex, Orvin, Tower and Elgin were among the top watchmakers for women during the decade. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    The best watch for ladies is dependent on personal choice and fashion preference. Many watches have been made over the years that feature a range of gemstones jewelry and stylish designs that can pair easily with different outfits. In fact, slim diamond watches with mother-of-pearl faces and pink leather straps aren’t for everyone. Although stylish women have been poaching men’s timepieces for years, adding instant swagger to any outfit, these days they’re the go-to among watch aficionadas, and not just for their implied status or rugged good looks. Shop a collection of vintage and designer watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Pocket watches come in a variety of sizes but the most popular sizes for women are 0s, 6s and 8s. Measuring pocket watches is a bit confusing and to make it easier a 0s is1.166”, a 6s is 1.367” and 8s is 1.433”. So it’s fairly safe to say that an average size for a woman’s pocket watch is between 1 and 1.5 inches. Find vintage and contemporary pocket watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
    To wear a bracelet with a ladies' watch, consider the look and fit of your timepiece. If your watch fits tightly at the wrist, selecting a looser bracelet, such as a bangle or a tennis bracelet, to wear above it can make a stylish pairing. In contrast, a looser watch might look appealing positioned above a close-hugging cuff. For a balanced look, choose a bracelet that is a different thickness than your watch. Think of two slender charm bracelets stacked above and below a chunky watch or a bracelet with large beads worn alongside a thinner watch. Metal finishes are another key consideration. If you want a more dramatic look, mix and match finishes, or select a bracelet in the same finish as your timepiece for a subtler statement. There really are no rules when it comes to layering watches, so feel free to experiment with different combinations to see what you like the best. Shop a diverse assortment of women's watches and bracelets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    Lady Elgin watches were made in the mid-20th century. In the 1930s, Elgin introduced its now iconic collection of timepieces for women, drawing inspiration for its name from its existing line of Lord Elgin watches for men. Elgin continued to make the watches until the company closed in 1964. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Elgin watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Patek Philippe also produces ladies’ watches. Patek Philippe is a Swiss luxury watch and clock manufacturer that produces men’s, women’s and unisex watches. Patek Philippe watches are available directly through Patek Philippe as well as through reputable retailers. Find a collection of Patek Philippe watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
    What makes a watch antique is its age. A watch must be at least 100 years old to be considered antique. Watches that are 20 to 99 years old are vintage, while newer ones are contemporary. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    An antique fob watch works with the help of a winding mechanism. Turning the winder puts tension on the clockwork gears, allowing them to move. Depending on the watch, you may wind it with a specially designed key or a winding crown located on the stem of the timepiece. You'll find a collection of antique fob watches on 1stDibs.
