Stylish Everyday Watches for Women: 3 of the Best

Words by Abigail Gurney-Read & Eleanor Hibberd

In assessing a luxury watch’s everyday wearability, it’s important to remember how few items you actually wear every day. Watches, in this respect, are fairly unique in terms of what is demanded of them. So, which have 24/7 potential? Of course, not all ‘everydays’ are equal, but for many of today’s cosmopolitan professionals, the everyday watch brief is less oriented around specialist function and more about a piece’s versatility and timelessness. Here are three that fulfil just that.

Diamonds need not be reserved for special occasions. The Piaget Polo Date epitomises considered elegance, taking its wearer from AM to PM in 18-karat rose gold and tastefully placed brilliant-cut stones. At 36mm, it sits modestly on the wrist for professional settings, while an impactful blue dial puts it front of mind come cocktail hour and negates the need for additional jewellery – ideal if you’re arriving straight from the office.

Born in the 1980s, the Panthère de Cartier has become a symbol of lasting elegance in the fine-watch world, known as the quintessential jewellery watch owing to its sleek chain-link bracelet. Coming in at a compact 27mm in glossy stainless steel, its unadorned appearance makes it a perfectly understated addition to your nine-to-five rotation, though its versatility will pay off at the weekends too. The chic way to wear it in your downtime? Stacked to the nines with your favourite Cartier bracelets.

In much the same way as an Hermès bag or a sweater by The Row, the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony emanates sophistication in its simplicity. Inspired by the purity of 1950s watches, the 36.5mm watch is key to any minimalist’s wardrobe – its clean, gradient dial indulged only by a neat surround of 72 diamonds. The interchangeable blush-pink strap flatters 18-karat rose gold for a softly feminine shade that complements all manner of neutrals in your everyday uniform.
