What to get for the wife?

Hi fellow trf hope everythings well. I have a question that needed some suggestions. I am thinking of getting my wife her first AP. She has been wearing rolex dj 27mm for the last 4 years while i have added several new rolex.

She has very small wrist that she said she meassure only 4.5 inch.
Are fellow AP lover here also getting the wife an AP? If so can you post your wife's AP?
She has been interested in the royal oak line with diamond 33mm, but i do keep open sugesstion from fellow member here in fact she the one who asked me to post a thread looking for some suggestion.

Thank you all in advance and lets hope to see many pics

Thinking about the new ladies royal oak offshore, the look is amazing but would prefer an automatic movement !
I think your score serious points with the royal oak on a bracelet

My wife likes the white and diamond ladies offshore. I don't know if that works for your budget but it's a great watch. The rubber strap will keep it looking great for a long time. My wife beats the crap out of her watches. She had a Patek twenty4 that look like a survival piece.

Thank you to sea-dweller, Randy, Neil, watchdog507, Paul, and koi6715. I visited the AD again today and my wife has made her decision. I will post incoming thread in a few days with her wrist shot. Thanks again everyone

@watchdog507: i know what you mean, my wife does it too with her watch. Hopefully she'll be a little gentle with AP

They all do, never met a woman outside this forum that cares to look after her watch very much.

Got my wife the 33mm lady royal oak auto as a wedding gift. She's worn it daily for about 20 months now. She is NOT easy on it at all and despite a few surface scratches the watch looks great. I did change it over to the white rubber strap and small tang buckle to better secure it since she doesnt really pay attention to where she is putting her wrist (out the window of the car, over the side of the boat, chasing our 9 month around, etc)

i would suggest you go for the black face as its even more eye catching..

is that an auto or quartz at 33mm? display back?
anyhow the front looks amazing. i'm trying to decide what 'pair' of wedding watches to get in the future and am disappointed with the amount of quartz in 20k+ watches! and the ladies watches arn't tiny either at 33mm.

Its quartz 33 and no display back. I wanted to give her the automatic one but she did researched on her own and said that the 33 auto one is older model with needle stick dial. She prefer the newer model and couldnt care less about quartz or auto. Besides when she wore her lady dj the watch often stops because lack of movement.

if you wanna get matching one i suggest you get 15400 like Jim posted. That would make a handsome pair. I too consider it but not for now coz i am still pretty much in love with my rolexes.
