Finding the Right Wrist-watches for You
Antique, vintage and luxury 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, vintage and luxury wristwatches for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Pre Own Watches
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Whether pre-owned Rolex watches hold their value depends on a variety of factors, including the specific model, how well the watch is cared for and what demand and supply are like in the future. It’s worth noting that Rolex watches, perhaps more than any other brand’s timepieces, hold their value over time. And some vintage and pre-owned models, like the emerald-green Rolex Submariner “Hulk,” have been known to appreciate well above their original purchase price. The greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned Rolex is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued. Another plus is that a pre-owned Rolex experiences less of an initial depreciation than a new one and will lose value more slowly over time. The greatest drop in the value of a Rolex generally occurs right after it’s been purchased new, although not every Rolex experiences depreciation to the same degree. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Rolex watches from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022You can buy a pre-owned Rolex from a variety of sources, including individual sellers, authorized dealers, auction houses and various online platforms, including 1stDibs. Buying from a reputable dealer or platform can help to ensure that you receive an authentic Rolex timepiece in good working order. On 1stDibs, find a variety of expertly vetted Rolex watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Pre-Columbian art is characterized by its interest in the natural world. The term includes all types of artifacts created by Indigenous people of Central and South America from ancient times until Christopher Columbus landed in the West in 1492. On 1stDibs, find a collection of pre-Columbian art.
- Who created pre-Columbian art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Artisans from many cultures created pre-Columbian art. The term refers to the artifacts produced before 1492 by any indigenous people from the Caribbean or North, South or Central America. Find a range of pre-Columbian art from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023There are no specific criteria for what makes a military watch a military watch. However, people may call watches "military" if they resist damage due to shocks, are highly waterproof, accurate and easy to read in extreme environments. On 1stDibs, find a selection of military watches.
- What is a Waltham watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024A Waltham watch is a timepiece made by one of two manufacturers. The original maker of Waltham watches was the Waltham Watch Company, which operated from 1850 to 1981. During that period, Waltham manufactured more than 40 million watches and clocks.

- What is a snowflake watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are two watches that are known as snowflake watches. One snowflake watch is also known as Reference SBGA211 by Grand Seiko. It’s one of the brand’s best known watches and is very popular. Its unique dial resembles a snowflake. The Reference 9411 Tudor Submariner is also called the snowflake because the second hand looks like a snowflake. Shop vintage and contemporary watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Does Pandora do watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024Pandora does not do watches. However, the jewelry maker has produced watches in the past.

- What is a moonphase watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A moonphase watch is designed to recreate the different phases of the moon on the dial. The aperture is usually curved so that it looks like the moon is waxing and waning.
- What is a moonphase on a watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A moonphase on a watch shows the current phase of the moon as you see it in the sky. Having an accurate moon phase in a watch is a little more difficult than it would seem because a lunar cycle lasts 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes meaning that a 135-tooth gear is necessary to drive the moon disc optimally for the exacting standards of watchmakers. Shop a collection of vintage and new moonphase watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- What is an Atlas watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The term Atlas watch can refer to one of two things. Tiffany & Co.’s line of luxury watches is the Atlas range.

On 1stDibs, find a variety of watches from some of the world’s top sellers.
