Best watch for a lawyer?

What watch would you recommend a senior lawyer to wear in the office environment? Either in a law firm or in commercial environment (working in-house)?

Budget is Ģ10,000/USD16,000/EUROS 12,000.

in that case, i'd look at a gmt master from rolex or any premium watch maker. timezones and date are a must for you imho, and i don't think you need to spend all that much (relatively of course).

good luck

AP Royal Oak

Can fly under the radar but still a very nice watch.

Hmm, between $12-$16k for a dress watch? I'd get a pre-loved Patek 5309.

I went with the white/silver dial 15400. Blue is boutique only now so a little more $$$. Black is probably the most versatile.

Between blue and black I would vote black.

Thanks. I've yet to see the blue dial. It seems to have had a lot of positive praise. Would love to see it and compare it against the black dial.

I would look at the new YMII. You might have to spend around 16500 but you should be able to get a new one for that

Day Date in WG and with silver roman dial (not to be confused with his higher priced DD II brother). Seems it would fit in your environment just fine...

Dress watch?
Strap or bracelet?
Functions?
Other uses?

Not sure I understand your question, with a budget like that you can buy many things. Not sure anyone here can tell you what to buy, your profession notwithstanding
