As usual, torn between Lange and Patek...
Mar 27, 2019,16:05 PM
These are by far my two favorite brands. I can share a bit my thoughts if you will allow me. I own two of each: a Lange 1 TZ in platinum and the Triple Split and a Patek 5270p (salmon dial) and a Nautilus 5990. Each of these pieces have very, very different characters. When it came to choosing a PC chrono, though, I gave a slight edge to the 5270. I think it is slightly more elegant. The case design of the Langes are simply amazing on a pure chrono (Dato, Double or Triple Split) or, say, a Zeitwerk, but feels a bit too industrial for the elegance of the perpetual calendar.
In any case, the Dato perpetual is a lovely watch and you can’t go wrong with it I think. There is a very good comparison on YouTube done by Watchfinder that I recommend: https://youtu.be/LeWON9fL6iM. Very detailed and interesting. Best of luck!

What are you comparing it to?

A mechanical marvel, for sure, but I’ve never felt that Lange got the aesthetics right. The Patek PCCs are IMO better designed if not as mechanically impressive. Cheers, John
Thanks John...

I was comparing it with the 5270g.

I know you’re talking gold, but I was looking at platinum. ALS is a beautiful design, amazing movement, attractive gray dial, and about $100k less money. Patek gold/orange dial is weird, it’s $100k more, and it says “Patek Philippe” on the dial. I’d buy t...

the grey dial also appeals to me more. Thanks bobernet!

You do have a point...guess I’d have to wear my corrective lens if ever.
Thanks Nico...

what you said is true about the sub dials of the Lange. In your opinion,is the VC and PP better than the Lange?
Hmmm...

Thanks for the points you posted. Between the two,the Dato Perp is the clear winner. Wonder why your friend chose the Datograph lumen though.

Hard place!

I agree that the legibility of the Month and Days indicators are a bit harder compared to PP5270. Yet; there's a reason for that in particular for Lange's design language. Although the aesthetical application is purely subjective, I appreciate the thought...
Thanks...langepedia.

You have certainly made me understand the reason behind the Dato Perp’s “complicated” dial. Lange has always been about symmetry and their uniqueness compared to their Swiss counterparts. And I agree that the grey dial is a killer!

Hi David...

the feed is very helpful. It’s quite evident,the PP is the more elegant watch. Not taking anything away from the Lange,it has it’s own appeal. Thanks for sharing the link.
Love mine

The PT version never excited me because of the dial color - which Lange uses for most PT not black pieces and which is a bit too dull for my taste. I always loves the WG version, here everything works for me. As usual you have to see it in the metal, on p...
That’s a beautiful timepiece...

especially with the bracelet. I only see that combo rarely and can understand why you chose this Lange. Thanks Andreas!
Thanks for all your inputs...

I finally pulled the trigger with this one...and am very happy with the decision. ...
Congratulations!

It is a real beauty. May you enjoy it for many years to come.

Love the subtlety of the grey dial.
