The best watch for the money in these times
if it is truly to be an heirloom would be the classic lines of the 5124G. Its got the new movement and its really a fine watch, and truly will become classic. Have your Dad put the rest in a beaten down basket of bonds for your future
I may get flamed but here goes with my view. You are wasting your time on a new Calatrava and any of the Annual Calender range, their value retention is not good in these times, and their prices too "reachable". With your modest hierloom piece and when finances permit , you will aspire to own a Perpetual Calender , Lemania Chrono or eventually a Minute Repeater. Those are much more than 30k but they retain their value because of exclusivity.
The reason I say this, is I would hate for your Dad to shell out 30k only to have it depreciate by 1/2. Better to take baby steps with a 16k patek that in my view is really well recieved and in demand.
Whats good patek for under $30,000?
