Reine de Naples
I am refering to the latest version in stainless steel. I won't know it is the best lady mechanical watch. But it is certainly one of the most beautiful lady mechanical watches to me. Further, it is very reasonably priced. Unfortunately, it is for lady with big wrist.

best ladies mechanical watch???
Hi everybody, I have purchased 3 months ago a 5167A Aquanaut Patek and I am very happy about it... but I have decided that my wife should receive a mechanical watch as well... but... unfortunately my budget after this big buy is quite limited... Please do...
I would be sure your wife would want a mechanical watch first...
It's known in the business that men will often buy mechanical watches for their wives, only to come exchange it for a quartz model soon after because his wife didn't want to deal with winding and setting the thing. But aside from that, it depends on what ...
The solution is ...
... to wind the watch for her. I've wound my wife's watch every morning for years. If it ever stops she'll probably think the battery is dead ... but unfortunately it might be me. :) A
Zenith's Elite is a well-established movement . . .
. . . that's not going away anytime soon, and will be serviceable long into the future. A true manufacture movement, no less than your Patek. Another choice would be Omega's Constellation . . . . . . seen here in steel with a diamond bezel and gold accent...
nice alternative
Thank you Art, I actually thought of Omega co-axial myself... excellent alternative... but what your opinion on the Ultrathin Moonphase???
They are beautifully proportioned . . .
. . . and a bit more old-fashioned, which can be a positive, depending on the preferences of Mrs Ofer. She would be happy with either, but I suspect you would be a bit more satisfied presenting her a watch with the latest in technical advances. The manufa...
Another options are Bulgari ladies' watches

Another option is the Girard-Perregaux Cat's Eye Bi-Retro
Ping wrote an excellent review here: Cheers, Anthony ...
Would really depend...
...on what sort of regular day the lady would have. The Zenith you mentioned is a great piece and is something that I would think is comparable to all the other great manufactures. It probably won't be able to take a beating for a daily use watch though a...
Okay, we now know what YOU are thinking of...
.. but it is your wife who will be wearing it, right? What would she like, do you think? I have a friend who has tons of high-end watches but his wife has no interest and despite he has many lady's watches, she doesn't wear - maybe once in a few years.......
My wife owns this exact watch!
And a beauty it is -- as well as serving well for both daytime and evening wear with its two sides. The only thing that she doesn't like is having to wind it -- so her daily wearer is a ladies' Blancpain, which has a splendid reduced size version of the X...
Aaah, yes, my wife, too, would have preferred an auto.
Well, at the beginning... After a while, she liked the idea to have to wind it every night... Best, Nicolas
+1 for JLC Reverso
A lot of ladies like the JLC Reverso line as it can be both classy and stylish at the same time. There are a lot of models that are mechanical, so have a look at their offering. Otherwise, Cartier makes very elegant ladies watches too!
Being a lady, myself...
...I would like to be gifted with this piece personally -- Breguet Reine de Naples in steel. The aforementioned link will take you to an excellent review by Kong. A picture from his article below to whet the appetite. Cheers, Daos ...
I think my wife would agree with you...
... at least on the brand :-) She has this 8068 in white gold, it is stunning in person: ...

How could you go wrong with this?
They're STARS on the wrist... Classic, sober, shell be able to change strap colors, imagine the possibilities... Very reasonable price, robust ETA movement, elegantly thin, read Mike's review of the gentleman's version of this watch... amp;ti=816978&f...
My wife found a mechanical watch last night that she loved, so ...
I had a chance to buy it for her. Usually she doesn't want to spend money or get things for herself. But with a birthday coming up in a few weeks ... she found this in the "vintage watches" case all by herself, and after trying it on, insisted she have it...
