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.

- What is a Waltham watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024A Waltham watch is a timepiece made by one of two manufacturers.

- 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.
