Ladies 37mm royal oak

Wifes wanting a new watch, she currently has a two tone rolex gmt ceramic 40mm and likes the size of it but she’s wanting something a bit nicer. Had a look on the ap website and she likes the steel 37mm would they wear about the same as a 40mm ? Also how easy are these to get, can you just walk in and get one or are they waiting list ?

In the UK where you are Owen and Robinson (AP AD) have ladies APs in the shop readily available and can access other models to order.

Do it! Got my wife one, and she loves it (prefers her Breguet, though...).

I would try to bundle or go grey for this... I these do not fly off the shelves and since the boutique only strategy they don't discount anymore.

The 37mm RO wears like a 37-38mm, definitely not like a 40mm, I tried on and looked small on my wrist whereas I wear a 40mm GMT often.

Depending on your wife’s wrist size, will generally have an over sized look on a woman’s wrist. Here is the 37mm 15450ST on my partner’s wrist although hers is quite small



The steel 37mm is not easy to get but also not too hard. If you opt for gold and diamonds, they will be much easier to get. Good luck!

I recently purchased the new-for-2020 34mm Royal Oak for my wife's 40th birthday. She is much happier with the fit of the 34mm than the 37mm (as seen in pic with the blue seal) on her smallish 5.5" wrist.

Good luck with your search.

If you can swing for the gold and diamond bezel option, it’s a really stunning piece

My girlfriend has 3 15450s and wears them constantly. She has a 6 inch wrist. She also wears a Daytona 116520 which looks only slightly larger on her wrist.
