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.

Questions About Gold Plated Watches
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Whether gold-plated watches are valuable varies. Gold-plated watches generally contain very little gold, as they are primarily a base metal, to which a thin layer of gold alloy is applied as a finish. As a result, the timepieces typically don't have much value on the scrap market. However, a gold-plated watch may have value based on its age, maker, model, condition and other factors. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help you determine how much your watch may be worth. Find a wide range of gold watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Gold Rolex pieces are only made with solid gold, never gold-plated. Crafted with high-quality materials, Rolex uses 18-karat gold made at their in-house foundries to ensure the utmost premium metals are used in each Rolex. Shop a selection of gold Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Omega did indeed make a gold-plated watch. The Seamaster, which was released in 1961, featured gold-plated finishes and a self-winding movement. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of expertly vetted Omega watches from some of the world’s top sellers.
- Is gold plated real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Gold plated items contain real gold, but are mostly composed of a different base metal. Generally, gold plated objects are made from copper or silver with a very thin layer of gold over the base metal.
- Does gold plating tarnish?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024Yes, gold plating does tarnish in some cases. Compounds in the air, sweat, beauty products and cleaning products can react with metals and cause discoloration. To keep your gold-plated jewelry looking great, follow the maker's care and storage instructions and remove it before swimming, showering, applying skin care products and cosmetics and working with household chemicals. Shop a variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Are gold watches real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Whether or not gold watches are real gold depends on the timepiece. Some gold watches simply have a gold-toned finish and contain no real gold. Others feature a thin layer of gold plating over top of other precious metals. Luxury watch makers often use 18-karat gold, an alloy that is 75 percent real gold and 25 percent other metals. Find a large selection of gold watches on 1stDibs.
- Are gold watches solid gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021It depends on the brand but a Rolex gold watch is made in solid gold, while other brands may use gold capping or gold plating.
- Are Omega watches gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Whether Omega watches are gold depends on the timepiece. The luxury watchmaker does make pieces out of genuine rose, white and yellow gold, but also manufactures timepieces out of steel and other metals. Shop a collection of Omega watches on 1stDibs.
- Do AP watches have gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Yes, AP watches have gold. In fact, the Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet offers most of its timepieces in 18-karat yellow, white or rose gold. Some models feature other materials, such as ceramic or stainless steel. Find a wide range of Audemars Piguet watches from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024Yes, they make watches out of gold. However, pure gold is vulnerable to scratching, so most gold watches feature alloys, such as 14-karat or 18-karat gold. In addition to solid gold watches, you can find gold-filled timepieces. Made by binding a layer of gold alloy to a base metal, gold-filled watches are highly durable and often more accessibly priced. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of gold watches.
- Is my watch solid gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024Whether your watch is solid good or not will depend on its maker and model. Some watchmakers offer solid gold watches, but others are gold-filled. The difference is that a gold-filled watch consists of a base metal and has a thin layer of gold bonded to its outer surfaces. One way to potentially determine whether your watch is solid gold is to place a magnet near it. Gold-filled watches are often magnetic, while solid gold ones usually aren't. If you're still unsure about your timepiece's materials, consult a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of gold watches.
- Is a gold watch worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many watch lovers believe that a gold watch is worth it. Gold brings rich color and a touch of elegance to timepieces. The metal is also fairly resistant to scratches. Plus, gold often retains its value over time. However, watches made out of other materials, such as titanium, platinum and palladium, can also be durable and visually appealing. When choosing a watch material, consider how and where you'll wear your watch, your preferences and your budget. Shop a diverse assortment of gold watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The gold content of a vintage watch will depend on the make and model of the watch. Gold is a popular choice for luxury watches due to its finish and yellow-golden hue that can be achieved through gold or gold-plated bands. Shop a wide selection of expertly vetted vintage watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Whether Dunhill lighters are gold-plated varies. Some pieces do feature genuine 18-karat yellow gold plating, while others are made of materials like sterling silver, brass, chrome and lacquer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Dunhill lighters from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is the Chanel logo gold-plated?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Whether the Chanel logo on a handbag is gold-plated depends on the age of the piece. Up until 2008, Chanel hardware featured 24-karat gold plating. Bags manufactured in 2008 or after have gold-toned hardware that isn't genuine gold. Shop a range of Chanel handbags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Whether Swarovski gold plating tarnishes varies. When exposed to sweat, salty air, chemicals or other substances, any type of gold-plated jewelry may develop discoloration. Following Swarovski's care and storage instructions can reduce the risk of tarnishing. Generally, you should avoid wearing jewelry when showering, swimming, applying skin care products or working with household chemicals to protect it from discoloration and damage. Explore an assortment of Swarovski jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Opinions 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.
- Are Bulova watches real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Bulova watches are made from real gold.

- Does Panerai make gold watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Panerai does indeed make gold watches.
