Small luxury watches return to popularity as 2026 approaches. From Patek Philippe to Audemars Piguet, small sizes are back in style, and both men and women will benefit. As more women join men among the ranks of serious watch collectors, the desirability of traditional, smaller, and midsize watches is set to surge. Rediscover vintage, classic, and contemporary watches of smaller size with host Tim Mosso.

What do the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas, and the Philippe Dufour Simplicity have in common? All are available as mid-size watch models. The "James Bond" style Omega Seamaster Diver 300M was built as a 36.25mm model for several generations and remains a favorite for secret agents who prefer to say low-key. The Vacheron Constantin Overseas automatic can be had in 34.5mm size courtesy of reference 4600V. Master watchmaker Philippe Dufour's celebrated Simplicity has been offered in 34mm size since it first was made available in 2000. All three watches are true unisex models that wear well on all wrists and boast more panache than size.

Vintage watches also are excellent for female wrists and men with a taste for tradition. The Audemars Piguet Star Wheel 25720 was a breakthrough model when it debuted in 1991, and it became the forerunner of all modern "wandering hours" complications from Urwerk to Gorilla. At 36mm, the original AP Star Wheel is an impressive companion that will fit beautifully on wrists of all sizes, and its "neo vintage" status makes it doubly appealing for watch collectors with respect for history.

Patek Philippe also falls into the category of "neo vintage" with its monumentally cool but tastefully compact 5016 complication. The reference 5016, which was made from 1993 to 2011, is a 36.2mm watch with a retrograde perpetual calendar, tourbillon regulator, minute repeater, moonphase, and COSC Swiss chronometer certification. With lifetime production of around 200 pieces, the Patek Philippe 5016 is one of the rarest, most valuable, and most desirable watches ever made. Fortunately, this little giant of watchmaking also is friendly to wrists of any size. But of course... bring money.
