What time is it? Watches and horology

So I'm with my aging father and he's now suggested he's interested in a new watch. Sounds like he finally wants a good watch for himself as he's in his last stage of life.

So I thought I'd ask the hive mind! You guys come up with some great suggestions!

He's fussy, but this would be a good start. He's looking for

1. 38mm - thin wrists (not like his son's gorilla arms)
   
2. analogue (not digital)
   
3. doesn't mind if it's quartz
   
4. with a day / date complication without the need to update 30/31 or 28/29 for Feb (so would it be a perpetual calendar if its quartz?! Would quartz be best? ). He wants something that let's him know what day it is.
   
5. With up to 5k budget (but obviously being older would prefer less if possible).
   
6. Yellow gold preference
   
   

I don't know quartz... And don't know 38mm 😂

What's ppls thoughts? I don't think he'll care too much if the type font is wrong either (sorry guys)...
