Off the top of my head, I'd say 16760, 16550, 16800 or a nice glossy 5513.
Sure there are some good dress models out there too.

All the best,

Depends on your budget. A 6263 Daytona looks great on a leather strap, but be ready to grab your checkbook.

Otherwise, a classic Submariner (date or no-date), GMT, or even a Datejust, are great choices.
