Good question
I am not an expert in auction dynamics but whilst teh Dato is produced in relatively small numbers, it is not seen as a rarity. It's been in production for 10 years now and you can always find a Dato if you are willing to wait three months.
In my view, rarity is key. This is a marketing strategy that PP does very well. Should Lange decide to stop producing the Dato, I am sure the resale/ auction price will be improved. I personally think that Lange's approach is to create a classic/ iconic watch rather than a rare watch.

Is there a finer watch in the world?
Forget criteria. I'm not asking about price, case metal, design, functions, movement, etc. Just plain and simple... what tops the platinum Dato? IMO, nothing. For what it is worth, I came sooooooooooo close to buying a RG Timezone last week, but in my hea...

I am a Lenged.......
Hi , Everyone who owns a Dato basically MUST seen the movie "I am a Lengend". Those whom owns this watch are owner to a fine legend.ITs simply impossible to call yourself a legend but once this watch settle on your wrist you will understand a legend you e...
Why doesn't it do well at auction?
I agree with everyone here that the Dato is a legend, and in my opinion it is one of the finest chronographs ever. Plus, considering all the people in this thread that are very passionate about this watch, I'd expect it to be fetching a much higher price ...
