Which RG watch

I don't post these myself, but I'm looking for collective opinions on which watch to get.

I've been asked by a friend which watch he should get, it has to be rose gold to match his wedding ring, something he will wear on the more special occasions of his life, but one which he can take travelling, which he does a lot.

He's active, outdoors, adventurous / travelling type.

He wants a watch he can pass to his son and something that if needed his son could easily sell to get him out of a situation or whatever when he himself is older.

This is classic rolex, explorer, sub, gmt territory or even omega speedy territory.

However, he wants rose gold.

Initially I recommended a Patek,
5196
5227
6119

But having grilled a bit further for the motivation behind this decision, these watches might not be the best to travel with or for his son to sell easily if he ever needs to.

The last point we all know is a very rare and unlikely event but knowing him and his son, a Patek is not as durable as a rolex, neither of them are previous about possessions and whilst I'd be horrified if my kids sold a watch with sentimental reasons, I'd understand eventually, but I doubt he'd care much.

His budget Is about the price of the Patek, so about 24k GBP (30k USD approx)

So. My shortlist

RG Choc Dial Daytona on oyster flex
YM RG OF (although he prefers the Daytona)
Pateks as mentioned
JLC Master ultra thin moon in RG (much cheaper) - he likes it

The only one from this list that might get close to ticking all of the boxes is the Daytona.

Anything else I could consider, that is RG, quality and something that should hold some value if a resale ever happened in future?

Thanks
