Buy what you like
You are luckily in that position, where a lot people would love to be also.
Don't care about resale value and such things:
The watch is near perfect, the deal has not to be.
Both are different enough to keep the RG version, too.

I'm thinking of cheating on my lover with a Turbograph Perpetual (Pic Heavy)
Dear Purists, I really need your help!! I have lusted over the 1815 Rattrapante PC ever since I laid eyes on her, we had a whirlwind romance that l thought would never end..... Lately, I was introduced to the Turbograph Perpetual, I can't stop thinking ab...
Of course you have to, that will match your Avatar name very well 😁
I feel so honored if able to help your half million dollar question 😂 Rgds Raymond
Thank you for your insight Raymond 😉
That is one of my main concerns, I question whether at nearly €500,000, this will hold its value...
Honestly...
From a small-time owner of Lange pieces, I would offer the opinion of not selling the rosegold 1815 RC... for a few simple reasons: (a) it is much elegant (in my opinion) than the turbo graph; (b) it is lighter than, and therefore more wearable, the turbo...
You are not wrong Dan
Upon reflection (see points below), I am beginning to reconsider. The Turbograph is spectacular, but doesn't wear as comfortably nor as elegantly as the 1815 Rattrapante. Another concern is production numbers, considering 50 pieces are being made, it is n...
The 1815 is a much more
attractive watch imho.. the turbograph is an impressive cocktail of complications but aesthetically it falls short.. the 9 and 3 o'clock subdials were shifted just marginally above the 9-3 axis.. when u compare with the original tourbograph, the 10 and 2 ...
You make a valid point...
The 1815 Rattrapante PC is one of the purest and most balanced dials I have ever seen, it is one of the reasons I originally fell in love with it. Coupled with an astonishing and theatrical mechanism, it comes very close to being a perfect timepiece. What...
A good problem...
The 1815 Rattrapante PC Tourbillon is an true icon but personally, I will keep the RG 1815 Rattrapante PC and acquire either a platinum Tourbograph or a 1815 PLM Tourbillon to complement your RG 1815. In that way, you will get all the complications in the...
The opinion of a fellow addict.
Don't do it. You have an incredible timepiece and a classical grand complication that is not lacking in any aspect. There is no ultimate watch. And more complicated doesn't mean more enjoyment in the long term.
You already know the answer in my opinion
As you wrote, you can’t stop thinking about the Turbograph Perpetual. If you’re crazy about this timepiece and you need to sell your 1815 to finance it, well let’s go! We only live once 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

Buy a Dato perpetual or a 1815 Tourby
And you get two watches instead of one. Regards, Ian
Sensible advice Ian
two, three or four grails for the price of one is a tempting proposition!
Hypothetical vs Real
In my eyes, the Tourbograph perpetual is a 'We did it because we COULD' type of watch, while the 1815 RPC is a watch that can be feasibly worn daily and enjoyed as such. I have had the RG 1815 RPC on my wrist before, and absolutely loved it. I would keep ...
