For the Rugged Adventurer: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Black Ceramic

He needs a watch that can keep up with his fast-paced lifestyle, because you never know where he is going to end up next. This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore is the perfect companion for someone who is always on the go.

For the Wall Street Wonder: Rolex Daytona “Panda”
Long days (and sometimes nights) at the office pay off to fund this man’s luxe lifestyle. He is just as likely to be poring over paperwork as he is to be dining on caviar at one of Manhattan’s hottest restaurants. This versatile, 40 mm watch is perfect to take him from day to night, and it pairs just as well with a blazer as it does with tennis whites or a golf polo for a little bit of weekend fun. For someone who appreciates an investment, the Rolex Daytona “Panda” edition is an ideal choice, as it remains one of the most consistently valuable watches on the secondary market. He will appreciate the thoughtful gift and the fact that you are a savvy shopper.

For the One Who Is Always Best-Dressed: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Whether or not he won the “best-dressed” superlative in high school, this guy is rocking exceptional outfits 24/7 these days. He is up on the latest men’s fashion trends, and looking good is important to him. Even during the pandemic work-from-home era, you could count on him to show off sophisticated blazers and tailored button-downs over Zoom. Someone this suave needs a classic timepiece that can complement every outfit. Our pick? A timeless Audemars Piguet Royal Oak like this gorgeous chronograph model. Crafted from durable and sleek stainless steel with a stark, black dial, this watch is both fashionable and functional. With precise performance, a 40-hour power reserve, and an iconic 41 mm silhouette, this watch is sure to become his go-to pick for everyday style
List Price: $44,400
For the Avant Garde Urbanite: Hublot Big Bang King Rainbow
Masculine watches do not have to be boring! Colorful styles and memorable silhouettes are all the rage right now, and the Hublot Big Bang King Rainbow perfectly encapsulates that trend. This bold watch is perfect for the avant garde dresser or even someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community. He is not afraid to experiment with his personal style and try out new and exciting looks. He does not want to be boxed in by traditional gendered “rules.” Instead, he loves shaking things up with color and confidence. This Hublot watch is set with countless multicolored gemstones and shows off the brand’s iconic case shape and H-shaped screws on the bezel. It is an unforgettable piece that makes a statement just as much as he does.
List Price: $56,200
For the Preppy Mariner: Rolex Deepsea
He is a known lover of J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Brooks Brothers. His preppy, classic style goes perfectly with his yacht, where he loves whiling away the weekends and spending time on the water. His perfect vacation? Probably sailing down to the Caribbean islands and sunning himself on a white sand beach (although a holiday at the Nantucket house is a close second). He needs a sophisticated timepiece that complements his clean-cut, country club look. We love the Rolex Deepsea, which is the ideal nod to his seafaring ways. This oversize, 44 mm timepiece is masculine and attractive, offering a deep blue dial and bezel paired with 18K yellow gold construction. Plus, it is water resistant to over 12,800 feet!
List Price: $66,400
For the One Who Loves His Record Player: Patek Philippe Nautilus
The man who is still putting his Beatles and Grateful Dead records on his record player might be called old-school, but we would call him simply classic. He enjoys an evening scotch on the rocks, he smoked a cigar when his first child was born, and he drives an iconic muscle car like a Dodge Charger or a Chevy Corvette (it was not a midlife crisis, it was a lifelong dream realized). A guy like this needs a watch that is just as quintessential, and it does not get more classic than a Patek Philippe Nautilus. This tailored model is crafted from 18K white gold and set on a comfortable and versatile black leather strap. The 40 mm case is a timeless size that transcends fleeting trends. In short, this is a piece he will cherish forever and one that he could even hand down to future generations.
List Price: $84,700
For the Techie Software Engineer: Richard Mille RM 028
He might have been nerdy or geeky in high school, but now he is wildly successful working in tech and putting his brainpower to good use. He loves taking things apart and putting them back together, understanding how everything from high-powered vehicles to kitchen appliances to complex code works. If that sounds like him, he will love this unusual Richard Mille watch! The RM 028 showcases a circular face with a skeletonized dial that gives the wearer an inside peek at the inner workings of this intricate machine. Crafted from durable titanium, this piece is light yet large, with a 47 mm case. Add in the bold, red rubber strap, and you have the whole package. It is quite difficult to come by a Richard Mille watch for under $100,000, so we suggest that you scoop this one up before it is gone!
List Price: $86,800
For the Suave New Yorker: Patek Philippe Aquanaut
Every Manhattanite needs a go-to piece of wristwear, and there is no watch more quintessential than the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Reference #5167. This timepiece is minimal yet functional, pairing the brand’s classic cushion-shaped bezel with a durable “tropical” strap that can withstand the elements and any surprises New York City throws your way. Dress it up or down, it does not matter. This Aquanaut is crafted from stainless steel and shows off a bold, black dial. It is set to become his go-to companion, and you will always be at the forefront of his mind whenever he wears it.
