A friend surprised me with this purchase.
She’s up in years and was looking to divest some funds by buying a watch she could leave to her daughter. That meant both she and her daughter needed to agree. The criteria was that it needed to be smaller and have precious stones on either the dial or bezel. She considered Rolex but decided that the DJ was too bulky. We consulted over the course of two years and I believed she finally settled on a Cartier 28mm Ballon Bleu. So I was surprised when she came to dinner last evening wearing this JLC. I think she chose well.

I agree.
My wife is not particularly interested in watches but I have purchased a few pieces for her over the years. This 28mm Rendevouz is one of them. Well priced in stainless steel and the color contrasts rhe Blancpain and Rolex that she also has. ...
A great story, and I'm glad it ends with a fine, somewhat underappreciated watch.
My wife's Rendez-Vous is one of her favorites and gets a lot of wrist time. ...
