His & Her in the same watch?
Came across a beautiful article on https://www.beyondthedial.com/ written by Ms. Lung Lung Thun. She discussed her Laws of Attraction which culminated in acquiring the 5231J.
Are there Patek references that both a husband and wife could easily wear?
Just purchase one very special watch, but actually get two watches because a quick strap change - and the watch can look feminine or masculine. The first reference I thought of is the 5231J because of it's smaller 38.5mm X 10.23 case dimensions, artistic/romantic flair of the enamel center dial, potential for many colorful strap variations, and serious horology.
Two different watches pictured here but demonstrates how the a watch can transform from His to Hers effortlessly with strap choice.

Could you share a watch with your wife in this manner?

Thank you for your input Amanico! :-)
These photos are from the web (Ms Thun's article) and I didn't mean to give the impression that I own one or both of these watches. Actually the photo of the two watches together is very misleading. I mean to ask the members if they would purchase a watch...
I haven’t found success in sharing watches with my wife
These reasons emerged when we started sharing this Seiko (I’ve never loaned her my one Patek). And Grand Seiko Strap or bracelet length (maybe negated by changing straps each time but that’s a nuisance) Setting date and time (and/or other complications) w...
Cazalea, thank you
Beautiful photos! I didn't think of the potential problems you listed! I certainly didn't imagine my wife damaging the watch or abusing it. I assumed she would treat it as carefully as I do, but that is a large assumption. Thank you for your input. I imag...
Agyzace - thank you for your input.
Yes, the photo of the two watches is lovely. But my question is, would you purchase 1 watch for the express purpose of sharing it with your wife?
My wife couldn’t care less about watches.
But I think the 5098, whether P or R, is or could be worn by women as well as by men. Best, Emmanuel
Actually, I am forced to do that some day in the future
Because I asked PP for an application piece (out of catalogue) for me and my wife (wanted the same watch) and was told that I will only be able to get one. So whenever it arrives we will have to play the bracelet game (larger/smaller)...
Ok, great... I would love to hear about that!
Very curious to know how the daily sharing proceeds! Congratulations on asking for an application piece, best of luck. Best, Robert

Rolex celebration with me. However, I do not share my 5131s with her A few years ago I had the honour of attending a GTG with Lung Lung. She is a great collector and I wish that she could participate more on WPS ! ...
Yes, Lung Lung is helpful - especially to my wife
My wife and I have seen several videos/articles featuring Lung Lung and my wife finds her refreshingly candid, unassuming and humble. Serious heavy weight pieces!
