It’s a Rolex air king, 34MM. It’s a great watch, I own one with the exact same dial and I have large wrists. The older Rolex were smaller than today’s, but it’s a classic piece.
This is probably a reference 5500 but take it to a trusted watch repair shop or authorized Rolex dealer to get it verified. If it’s old and hasn’t been serviced I’d recommend doing that while you’re at it.
I love mine but it’s not the most popular model. You can pick them up for $2,000 -$3,800 USD depending upon the dial, date, condition, etc.
Great watch, enjoy it!
Edit: given the date she bought it, it’s definitely a ref 5500
