Until watchOS 2.2 is released, you can only pair your Watch with one iPhone. Having said that, if you login to the iCloud website and remotely wipe your stolen iPhone, it should free up your Watch so that it can pair with your new iPhone.

You can also reset the watch but you would have to set it up as new. Thankfully this isn't as time consuming as it is on the phone!
