Shopping for a luxury watch can be overwhelming, especially with so many choices out there. If you’re looking for a ladies’ luxury timepiece, your selection may be a little narrower. Only a few of the top luxury watchmakers are known for making excellent timepieces for women. Typically, when you’re looking for a ladies’ luxury wristwatch, you’ll want to find something that comes in a smaller case size. One of the most important considerations for a luxury watch is how it fits. You don’t want it to feel too big. With many modern options coming in 40mm case sizes and up, a larger watch may feel a little unnatural to wear if you have a slimmer wrist.

That’s why we’ve outlined some of the best luxury watches for women in today’s blog. If you’re looking for your next timepiece, BQ Watches has you covered. Check out some of our favourite options below.
First up, we have the always eye-catching Bvlgari brand. The signature serpentine shape of Bvlgari’s most popular women’s watch can’t be missed. This intriguingly designed timepiece marries jewellery with impeccably crafted watch functionality to provide a piece of wearable art.
Of course, Bvlgari also offers more traditional watch designs. A round case watch is a versatile option that can go with anything. If you’re looking for something more traditional, consider the Bvlgari BBL 33 S. This watch comes with a round stainless 33mm case, a stainless steel bracelet, and a white dial with pearls embedded at each numeral. If you prefer the exotic side of Bvlgari’s catalogue, consider the Bvlgari Serpenti SP P 35 G with a 35mm rose gold case and a black dial.
Chopard is another luxury brand that knows how to mix the worlds of high-end jewellery and luxury watches. Chopard has several interesting designs in its repertoire, with the Happy Sport being a favourite choice of many. The Happy Sport was designed as a women’s line and features diamonds and a sporty look. The predecessor to the Happy Sport, the Happy Diamonds, features a more classic design. We’ve highlighted a Happy Sport here, with a red crocodile skin strap, a 28mm yellow gold case, and the signature diamonds embedded throughout the design.
If you’re looking for something more traditional from Chopard, consider the Mille Miglia. The two-tone steel and yellow gold add an interesting dimension to this watch, and the 42mm case will be appreciated by women looking for a larger case size. While the Mille Miglia was not specifically designed with women in mind, there’s no rule saying you can’t wear whatever watch you want!
IWC is a storied Swiss brand known for the care and craftsmanship that goes into its watches. If you’re looking for something dressier, the IWC Portofino is a great option. The classic design of this watch is timeless and sure to please. In addition, IWC has plenty of great vintage options, like the one we’ve highlighted here.
This vintage IWC with a rose gold 38mm case and leather strap is the perfect combination of casual and elegant, but it’s impossible to go wrong with any watch from the IWC lineup. IWC produces quite a few different timepieces, so it’s worth browsing our full inventory to see everything the brand has to offer.
Few can disagree that Patek Philippe is one of the best luxury watch brands in the world. Its prestige and innovation can’t be overstated, and every timepiece the storied brand produces is a work of art. Fortunately for women, there are plenty of Patek Philippe ladies’ options to choose from.
If you’re looking for some of the best and most popular offerings from Patek, you may want to go for the Nautilus or the more affordable Aquanaut. These watches feature a distinct case shape and a sportier aesthetic. If you’re looking for something dressier, you can’t go wrong with the Patek Philippe Calatrava. If you’re looking for something elegant that’s covered in diamonds, you may want to consider the Patek Philippe Twenty~4.
Next, we have the always reliable and impressive Audemars Piguet. While Audemars Piguet has a wide variety of watch models available, we’d be remiss if we didn’t suggest the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The Royal Oak is undoubtedly Audemars Piguet’s flagship timepiece, featuring a distinctive porthole-like case. Audemars Piguet has produced the Royal Oak in many sizes, including some that would be perfect for a slender wrist.
If you want a world-class watch that is impossible to overlook, both ladies and gentlemen can’t go wrong with Audemars Piguet.
Cartier is easily one of the top luxury watch choices for women, thanks to the brand’s array of collections made specifically with women in mind.
The classic Santos — the watch that changed the watch industry for good — comes in various sizes for women. There’s also the Miss Pasha, which was created as a women’s line of the coveted Pasha collection. The Panthère is a great choice if you’re in the market for a Cartier made with the finest luxury materials. If you’re looking for something truly unusual, consider the Cartier Ballon Bleu, which has an incredible double convex design.
Finally, it’s no surprise that the most popular luxury watch brand of all time has plenty of fantastic options for women. Rolex seldom disappoints, and collections like Lady Datejust, the Lady Yachtmaster, and the Lady Oyster Perpetual are all great purchases. There are also smaller case sizes for popular models like the GMT-Master, the Day-Date, the Daytona, and others. There’s no shortage of Rolex models for women, so browsing the BQ Watches Rolex inventory can be a very enjoyable experience. There’s sure to be something perfect for your style, but if you don’t find what you’re looking for, we’re happy to help you find it.
