ALS and Patek are both great, depending on which reference.

However, I do not like the 5990 very much, and I would choose the dato, but not with the diamonds. Personally I think the diamonds kill everything. Why not change it to the normal dato up/down and have some money into the pocket? Just don't let your wife know.

The diamonds are a complete deal killer IMO. Pretty bad aesthetic fit for what Lange is going for? YMMV. If they don't bother you then I think the Lange is an objectively better watch.
I Saw a post similar like this

and the popular answer was to change your wife so you can keep both . kidding aside I don't like the 5990 but it seems to be a popular (hard to get ) model now. If you don't wear the 5990 anymore then maybe time to change it?
Diamonds?

Make it a nice very dressy watch. I have the dato perpetual, lange makes an amazing watch. U won't regret it.
I would go for the ALS

No diamonds

No way on the diamonds doesn’t even make sense of 5990 it’s a sport watch that will hold it’s value and is classic. Diamonds will just bother you in the long run. Don’t know the difference in pricing between diamonds versus no diamonds but I bet it’s a bi...
Very surprising ;-)

As for me the 5990 is far too bulky for a Nautilus and completely overrated it would have been a no brainer for me, even when I prefer the non diamond version. The Pepsi is a nice watch (for list price) indeed
