If practicality is high on your list

The Patek local/home time setup is superb for travel. I also love he it sits on smaller wrists like mine.
The Lange is such a pleasure to look at and great feel for time some changes
BUT
The Lange changes the time zone in the small dial, not main dial so for me they got it wrong. I want to read the time where I am (main dial) and have the reference home time (sub dial) not the other way around. So the Lange is cool when you are home and want a reference time elsewhere but less cool on the road.

I am being very picky. Both are great whether home or away - I would love to travel with either of them!

Both iconic watch from two houses, both functional and practical for travelers, what's your choice? I prefer Lange 1 TZ, with the city name or zone where I am going to.......  

Definitely Lange... with the grey dial ;-)

...the trip I am doing. The Lange is a wonderful dresswatch and I LOVE it too just like all of you guys . But it's clearly a dresswatch that I would not wear in all circumstances. Moreover an alligator strap would not be ideal for travelling in hot and hu...

Definitely, absolutely, the Lange.

As illustrious Patek may be, the Aquanaut simply pales in comparison.

I think it isn't an Apple to Apple comparison...

If you take other dress watches from Patel, the thoughts might become different... Best, mahesh.,

Exactly.

This Lange is far too superior, technically and aesthetically, so no comparison imo. This Lange provides significantly more technical and very clear information in a refined classic case. However having all the names of the cities in the perimeter looks v... 

Let me see...

If I\'m on long haul commercial, then it\'s def the PP. Lange if I\'m on a Learjet and dressed accordingly. The way I see it is that the PP is more casual/sporty whilst the Lange more for dressy occasion. +1 Can\'t compare it apple for apple. KR

Lange for me and not because I'm a Lange guy...

I don't find this version of the Aquanaut very attractive. Fx

The layout, the details, everything about it. But, I do have a problem with world timers, as for me, they are correct only half the year. Until we can stop having daylight saving time, I will stick with a dual time zone or GMT watch.
