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.

- Did Rolex make a quartz watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Rolex made the Oysterquartz watch starting in the 1970s. Not many were made, with around an estimated 25,000 models making it to market. Shop a range of expertly vetted Rolex watches from top boutiques worldwide on 1stDibs.
- Does Rolex make quartz watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022No, Rolex doesn't currently make quartz watches. However, the company did in the past. The Rolex Oysterquartz is the name of that timepiece, which debuted in 1977. Rolex produced three models of the watch over a 25-year period and sold about 25,000 of them. Shop a range of Rolex quartz watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024How long a quartz watch lasts depends on a variety of factors. The quality of the craftsmanship, the strength of the materials, how frequently it's worn and how well it's cared for will all influence the longevity of a particular timepiece. Generally, most quartz watches have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of watches.
- Is quartz a good make of watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024Many watch lovers believe that quartz is a good make of watch. With their electronic components, quartz watches can keep time reliably and require little maintenance beyond battery replacements and proper storage and cleaning, as recommended by the manufacturer. Quartz watches are often more economically priced than mechanical alternatives and don't require winding. However, one major downside of quartz watches is they typically don't last for as long as mechanical timepieces, as their electronic components wear out over time. While mechanical watches often remain in good enough condition to become heirloom pieces, quartz watches have an average lifespan of 20 to 30 years. Explore a selection of quartz watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024The life expectancy of a quartz watch varies. However, well-made quartz timepieces can typically perform reliably for 20 to 30 years before the electronic components inside begin to wear out. To extend the life of your quartz watch for as long as possible, be sure to follow the maker's care and maintenance instructions. Typically, you should keep your watch stored in a cool, dry place in its original packaging between uses to protect it from dust, sunlight, moisture and extreme temperatures. Explore a variety of quartz watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Most Rolex watches do not have quartz movement, instead they use a Perpetual rotor to power the watch. There were a couple of Rolex watch models that used quartz movement, the most popular being the Rolex Oysterquartz. The Oysterquartz is no longer in production, but it can be found in the second-hand market.. Find Rolex watches, including the rare Oysterquartz, on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, Rolex joined the quartz movement popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The first Rolex quartz watch was the Date 5100. The company then released the Oysterquartz Datejust and the Oysterquartz Date-Date models. Very few Date 5100s were released, and the Oysterquartz models were only produced for 25 years. Find a collection of expertly vetted Rolex watches, including rare Oysterquartz models, from some of the world’s top reputable boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024The world's first quartz watch was the Seiko Astron 35SQ. It debuted in 1969. After its release, other watchmakers introduced economically priced quartz watches to meet the growing demand for the timepieces. By the mid-1970s, the watchmaking industry found itself in the midst of the Quartz Crisis. During this period, many luxury watchmakers struggled financially due to reduced interest in traditional mechanical watches. Find a variety of vintage Seiko watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Patek Philippe watches may be quartz or mechanical, depending on the model. The brand uses quartz movements in some Gondolo, Nautilus and Aquanaut timepieces. However, the majority of the brand's watches feature manual or self-winding mechanical movement. Find a collection of Patek Philippe watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Yes, Cartier does make quartz watches. The luxury jewelry and watchmaker introduced a line of high-precision quartz timepieces in 2018. Find a collection of Cartier watches from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024The first Seiko quartz watch cost ¥ $450,000. That timepiece was called the Astron 35SQ, and it was launched in 1969. At that time, its price tag was around $1,250, roughly $9,000 when adjusted for inflation. On 1stDibs, shop a range of vintage Seiko watches.
- 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 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.
- 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.

Find a wide range of Audemars Piguet watches from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.

- 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.
