I appreciate both, but notice how thin the Patek 5140 is due to the Patek 240 caliber. [nt]

Question for Lange Perpetual owners
Want to take the leap and get a perpetual calender, but am struggling between the lange and the patek 5140. One concern i have with the lange is the possible difficulty in reading the dial - was looking at my friend's watch and thought that the font and o...
They are very different watches.
I love the layout of the dial of the Patek but the Lange has a second hand... Each indication can be advanced individually with the Lange... the Patek has a more "delicate" design and is thinner than the Lange... each watch is of course a masterpiece and ...
I prefer the size of the Lange,...

thx
Decision day is this friday - I agree they are quite different as far as perpetuals go, but both do share some characteristics - stylish, clean, classical design, excellent movements... I'm a humungous fan of both houses. Been visiting both ADs trying the...
Conclusion
I got it. Langematik Perpetual platinum model, got it a day early, decided to pull the trigger as I made up my mind. It's a cool little thing, very happy with it, I keep on looking at it. I think if I had gotten the rose gold model the luminous hands woul...
Congrats, and I think you made a wise choice!...
It's a fine watch. I have the same model that you purchased -- have had it for years -- and never tire of it. I didn't reply to your original post, but I greatly prefer the Lange aesthetic to the Patek look. I hope you enjoy it for many years!
