Hi Guys
Like to buy my dad a nice gift, he always wanted a rolex so thats what i am going to get. Got a budget of 4k, pushing it 5k. He is in to his gold coloured watches so something along that line? Any help or advice on what models i should look at that would be great.

Thanks

The model that comes up once the page has loaded. Datejust Turn-o-graph. I'm not into my bi-metal watches, but this model would/could sway me. Very nice, especially with black face.

If you Dad likes gold coloured, then go for a previously owned Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold. By from a reputable dealer, and you'll get a nice watch for £5000.

Bi-metal Yachtmaster with blue face and solid 18ct gold bezel is within your budget and looks amazing!

depending on his age ,i bought my father a cellini in gold with crocodile strap,look nicer on the wrist than sporting models when you hit a certian age,unless he is a sporty out doors type.
