The Best Gift My Wife Ever Gave Me

When you think about the best gift you received from a spouse, what comes to mind? For me, it is the Cartier Santos watch that my honey gave me on our recent wedding anniversary. True, this watch is extremely attractive but what makes it even more special is what my wife had to go through to get it. Though the story has some unpleasant parts to it, everything ended up fine and I thank goodness for that.

My wife, her mother, and her two sisters recently went on an all-inclusive vacation to Antigua. They organized this vacation for some much-needed rest and relaxation. My wife’s mother was recently declared cancer-free and it was time for a celebration. My wife and her sisters had cared for their mother through her long battle with breast cancer and they were exhausted. Everyone was looking forward to some fun, sun, and adventure.

Not being the types to bask in the sun all day, the girls planned their itinerary prior to departure. This included a day spent snorkeling and scuba diving. The girls all had plenty of snorkeling experience but planned to take a resort diving course after arriving at their hotel. They could learn the basics right in the hotel pool and then explore in the shallow waters of the beach area the day before heading off on their excursion. During the lesson, everything went well and the ladies were prepared.

The next day, my wife was feeling a bit under the weather but she did not want to miss the fun. Since she had a slight fever, she opted to wear a short-sleeved wetsuit to prevent getting a chill even in the warm water. It turns out, she developed a severe rash by the time the diving boat returned to shore. To the hospital she went for treatment, which involved several hours in the emergency room and a course of medication.

On the way back, the girls stopped by the jewelry store at their resort, the Sandals Grande Antigua. There, my wife saw what would soon become my watch. Though she was still not feeling great, she asked the girls to stop in the store with her to learn more about the timepiece. What she found were a wide assortment of 100th anniversary Santos watches that were beautiful.

She told me that they had a difficult time making a selection. I find that hard to believe, with so many great choices. In the end, they selected the 100 carbon model with pink gold and diamonds. Though I never considered myself a diamond man, this watch is second to none. The 18-karat pink gold case features a plethora of round diamonds.

I think the offsetting of the diamonds with the rugged strap is what makes this watch so versatile. Mechanical movement, automatic winding, and 330-foot water resistance are just the icing on the cake. I love this watch but I love my wife even more for taking the time to think of me while she was on vacation and under the weather.
