Number Of Jewels In A Watch For Sale on 1stDibs
You are likely to find exactly the number of jewels in a watch you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. Every item for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using gold, 18k gold and stainless steel. You can easily find a 721 antique edition and 751 modern creations to choose from as well. Making the right choice when shopping for a number of jewels in a watch may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 18th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. Finding an appealing number of jewels in a watch — no matter the origin — is easy, but Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega each produced a popular version that is worth a look. While most can agree that any number of jewels in a watch from our collection can easily elevate most outfits, but the choice of a diamond version from the 209 available is guaranteed to add a special touch to your ensemble. See these pages for a round cut iteration of this accessory, while there are also brilliant cut cut and rose cut cut versions available here, too. There aren’t many items for women if you’re seeking a number of jewels in a watch, as most of the options available are for men and unisex.
How Much is a Number Of Jewels In A Watch?
Prices for a number of jewels in a watch can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $137 and can go as high as $677,430, while this accessory, on average, fetches $8,953.
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.
Questions About Number Of Jewels In A Watch
- 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. Some watchmakers engrave their pieces with serial numbers, so you may find the number on the inside or back of the dial or on one of the lugs. Others don't add serial numbers but will provide them on a warranty, authenticity or care card. 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. Newer watches will typically have the engraving on the back of one of the lugs that connects the watch to the strap or bracelet. Find a wide range of Omega watches on 1stDibs.
- What is a 17 jewel pocket watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021A pocket watch with 17 jewels is called a fully jeweled watch. For the mechanical movement, it uses jewel bearings from the center wheel pivot to the balance wheel. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of antique and vintage pocket watch options.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024On a watch, 21 jewels means that the timepiece has a particular type of movement.

Typically, only high-end mechanical timepieces feature 21 jewels, with 17 jewels being more common. Find a diverse assortment of watches from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What does 7 jewels watch mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The term “seven-jewel watch” means one that has seven pivots. This means that there are seven bearings on the wheel train that powers the movement of a mechanical watch. Pivots usually have natural or synthetic ruby gemstone insets, which is where the term jewel comes from. You'll find a collection of mechanical watches on 1stDibs.

You will need to have a jeweler open an older watch to find the serial number. Once you know the number, you can consult Omega to determine the date. Find a range of expertly vetted Omega watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can find the serial number of your Omega watch on the watch’s certificate card, or engraved on the watch, typically on the case back.
