When choosing a watch, women have long sported designs made for men. Hollywood royal Salma Hayek, for example, regularly favours a 44mm PAM 104 from Florentine watchmaker Panerai, a heritage brand known for its chunky, bold, purpose-built designs. Meanwhile, global style icon Victoria Beckham has been photographed on many occasions wearing traditionally masculine timepieces, like an all-gold Patek Philippe Nautilus or Rolex Presidential geared with a champagne dial.
