Default Getting rid of the gap between kitchen sink and wall/upstand

I'm thinking (quite a long way) ahead to fitting the worktops and sink
and want to devise a way to solve the problem of the area behind the
sink that always gets wet and manky. SWMBO wants oak worktops and a S/S
1.5 bowl double drainer sink (from Franke) so under-top sinks, corian,
ceramic, etcetera are all ruled-out.
The ideas I've had thus far a to build-out the area behind the sink
so that it slopes and, when tiled, slightly overhangs the back of the
sink, or to fabricate a S/S wrap for the upstand behind the sink such
that any water is directed onto the sink. Has anyone come-up with other
ways of solving the problem?
