    High end watch suggestion for ladies

    I am considering an AP Ladies Royal Oak stainless steel with diamonds on the bezel.

    what would be your choice, lets say keep it under $20k.

    On a $20K budget I'd purchase multiple watches.. a Rolex DJ, Cartier Tank, JLC Reverso and Chanel J12

    Any JLC Reverso up to and including the 976. They run $4500-$7800 in steel, under $20k in gold, and some are gem-set. Mine's plain, a 976 steel over leather withe the silver guilloche' dial. But it's perfect for work AND for weekends. One caveat-the "classique" Reversos are handwinders. I love it but it's not for everyone. Their Squadra line has automatics, I think, and at least one of the less-expensive "classique" line is quartz.

    Not an expert..but to me women tend to enjoy Cartier's design.

    My wife and I just recently had a similar discussion, and if you're looking for feminine watches, then with the exception of the Chanel J12, or the Rolex Ladies Datejust with a fluted bezel on a Jubilee or President bracelet, Cartier seems to dominate in terms of iconic ladies' models, like the Tank Francaise or the Ballon Bleu.


    Vacheron Constantin Overseas; Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duo; Rolex Submariner 114060; Baume & Mercier Hampton Annual Calendar; Tudor Black Bay.

    Beijing Beihai 50th Anniversary; Coach Fulton; Frederique Constant Slimline; Helson Skindiver; Orient 60th Anniversary; Seagull Tourbillon 818.900, 1963 Air Force; Seiko SNA089P; Swatch Body and Soul, Heracles; WUS Chinese Moonphase SE.

    Incoming: Phosphor Touch Time; Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military; Stowa Antea KS.

    For most women Cartier will do well. It's a well known jeweler so her friends will recognize it, and you can get a classy piece without a bunch of diamonds on it. If she's really into watches try a gold reverso or master.

    I am surprised no one mentions ng pp twenty four ? Is it due to it being a quartz watch, not much to discuss?
