Purely my opinion
Lange watches in general tend to be heavier than their Patek counterparts. I once owned a 1815 chrono only for a month as it was too heavy for me despite its incomparable movement. Some will say it is the quality of Lange while others will say they like to be able to feel their watches. Weight is of course a relative thing but for me personally, I would like to wear a watch without feeling I am wearing a watch at all ie it blends as a part of me. I would say the same thing about comfortable shoes but I digress here.
I think it is possible to get used to the increased weight over time unless you alternate between wearing a lighter Patek and then a Lange in which case the difference in weight will always be noticeable.

1815 chrono

The 1815 chrono that I had owned was a rose gold model so the extra weight was not due to it being a platinum. Just for the record, the 1815 Chrono only comes in rose and white gold. You may not feel the weight as much when trying the watch on in the shop...
