I agree. I'm thinking maybe the IWC Port in white gold.

Not sure if you're a square kind of guy but I absolutely adore the IWC Da Vinci series;

To me white gold is a waste on a watch. Doesn't really look any better than stainless, but carries the gold price.

There are some really nice classy dress watches in the patrimony collection that can be had ~20k.

Also, is the budget 20k retail or 20k to spend? How about the IWC perpetual calendar in Rose Gold. That would probably be my pick for a dress watch in that range.

Dressy? Cartier invented the term.

Pasha De Cartier - $14K.

not sure if I can get to 20, but I can make a really good deal on this piece if it is something your friend would be interested in.

I also recently got a custom GO bracelet for it too:
