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 the Lange.
Datograph Perpetual Calendar...your thoughts on this...
I’ve been reading about this particular watch...for some time. And would like to hear more inputs specifically the WG model. Thanks in advance!
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

It is in the three best PC Chronographs, along with the Patek 5970 and the Vacheron Excellence Platinum.
The Patek 5970... The Vacheron: The Lange. The Lange has the advantage of its movement, which is hard to beat. But I dislike the small sub dials in the months and days sub dials. Moreover, the Datograph PC is the less legible among the three. Best, Nicola...
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?
Better, no, if you focus on the movement decoration and finishings. Now, as for the charm, which is subjective, I would say that the Lange is a Mercedes, while the two others are Aston.
One is clinical, the others are more... romantic?
A friend was recently looking at this as a possibility to buy...
...and he asked me for a quick rundown (on this and others). p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px} p.p3 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-heig...
@mdg...
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!
As usual, torn between Lange and Patek...
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 differe...
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.
The video was really interesting. Thanks for it. The Patek is beautiful, though functionally I think the protruding, single-push,...
... all-function advance pushbutton on the Lange adds practical value in a way that cannot be overstated for those who don't wear the watch every day. I have noticed this over the years with the older Langematik Perpetual, which has the same single-correc...
You are absolutely correct.
That's a really great feature that I wish the Patek would have.
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. ...
