OP 34 is hot?

[monsieur_z]

I was looking for the Oyster Perpetual 34mm (reference 124200) for my wife. To my surprise, the SA said they receive very few of those, and also there's a wait list, with management approval required for each sell...

Now, I'm aware of the high demand for the new (well, last year) colorful dials OP in 36 and 41mm.

But the 34 only comes in classical blue, black, silver, etc... And the 34mm diameter would appeal to mostly women or men with smaller wrist (including me, I wear 36, I could wear 34). So the market for 34 mm is definitely much smaller than for 36 or 41mm.

Yet, checking price on Chrono24, I see the watch around 30% above retail, which could qualify as hot, or at least luke warm...

So given the size, I'm wondering what could cause this watch to be in such demand, compared to let's say a DateJust.
