Dress watch to me means a classic hobnail Patek. This also works:

Agree with hobnail Patek.

This would be my grail for a modern production basic dress watch.
Sure you can find some higher end boutique brands but this has always just made me smile
If I could find one with a Tiffany Dial like this AND proof of Tiffany purchase at the right price Id sell a couple pieces to make it happen.
Only issue is I rarely wear a dress watch LOL but this one you can pull off with Jeans and a T.

It seems weird to me to have different type families on the hour markers and the subseconds.

Too thick for a dress watch? Conversation piece though.

It's a great watch indeed, but a dress watch? NO.

Amazing, def conversation starter, with watch guys. My first question would be, is this one of the repeaters?

My ideal dress watch would be a rose/red gold, minimal dial, leather strap and thin.

I could do without the date, but it's fairly inobtrusive. Anyone need a slightly used kidney? 😜

nope. Not the striking time version. They would be much thicker.

I know a dress watch is usually a 2 or 3 hand version. For me watches without complications are a little dull. Shiny dress watch:

Mechanical, time only, precious metal, ultra thin. Look up "dress watch" in the dictionary, and you'll see a photo of an Altiplano. Definitely one of my all-time favorite dress watches.

Does this qualify as a dress watch? Not large, but simple and distinctive.
