Can I be honest? Your good lady like all of us need to try a watch on to see if it suits. I have liked the look of a model then tried it on and it didn’t suit. I don’t think there is such a generic answer it’s all down to the individual. Good luck.

If she wears white gold and diamonds: YM stainless Steel with platinum dial
If she wears gold jewellery: the new YM eve rose gold TT/ chocolate dial
THAT'S CLASS!

Chadridv's pics certainly are convincing, that 36mm looks perfect on his wife!

Have you looked at an Oyster Perpetual 36? Maybe a blue Explorer dial?

Have her pick it out imho. Showed my wife everything Rolex offered and she preferred a FrankenWatch DJ 36 (~$5k, saved me a bundle over other stock pieces too... win-win). Looks great on her and came with 2 year warranty!

So DO NOT eliminate Frankenwatches, let HER pick it out.

I’m not sure if it’s the same for buying a women a Rolex but I guy I work with recently had one bought for him by his wife , she bought him a two tone DateJust 36 with diamonds on the dial .
They guy told me that he hates it but has to wear it as it was a gift from her , he went and bought a two tone sub a couple of weeks later and told her that he liked the DateJust so much that he only wanted to wear it on special occasions

i gave my wife for our 10 year anniversary the 26mm Datejust 79163 Gold and SS with diamond dial. Its quite sad that she can't/doesn't want to wear it to work everyday cause her mgr and VP of dept would think she doesn't need the $$$ for an annual salary increase or bonus if she has a rolex. Yes its real that this still happens in corporate america.

BINGO, with the jubilee bracelet. This combo looks amazing in person, even moreso on a lady’s wrist.

We picked it up last week. At first she thought it was a touch too big but about an hour or so later, wanted to go back and try it on again. Almost immediately after putting it back on, she said "I want it".

Her first Rolex with a good story to tell and a brutal 2017 with 2 young boys and a career. She deserves it.

Congrats to your wife. It sounds like she does deserve it. I think the 37mm is perfect for my wife too. She tried on the 40mm and thought it was too big.
