Ladies watch - ideas please

[Stitch]

Need to find a watch for my wife (who has very particular tastes).

She has tiny wrists and wants a watch with a small watch with a narrow rectangular face, stainless steel case and croc strap in light brown, cream etc.

I've come up with a couple of JLC's but struggling to think of anything else.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Just searched for ladies + Croc straps:

Went through exactly the same process about 6 months ago.

Not much beats a Reverso - in fact, nothing did. She loves it and it looks and feels stunning.

I'll see if I can dig up the thread.

I was going to say a Reverso. The "standard" Reverso is pretty small these days and would probably suit. Alternatively go vintage. My wife has a lovely vintage G-P, steel, rectangular case and leather strap, that is pretty cool actually. Unfortunately I haven't photographed it so can't post a pic. Its handwind (as are most of the Reversos) and it took some effort to get it running nicely, but well worth the effort.

I guess the question is whats your budget?

JLC and Patek Phillipe make some fantastic ladies watches, I', not a big fan of the ladies Rolex or Breitling style they look too manly.

Breguet make nice ones but mostly gold.

Zenith ladies collection are amazing watches but none are rectangular.

If you aren't looking to spend thousands Rotary make fine watches for the money

How about this with a change of strap...?

Is crocodile a MUST? How about Alligator? Pot-A-to, Pot-AH-to...?

Nice looking watch in my book. Plus you can't go wrong with Baume & Mercier.
