Lange & Sohne Cabaret. The king of rectangular watches?
There are some stars in this category, such as the Cartier Tank, the Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso, and... The Patek 5100. But if we compare the movements, in terms of finishings, I only see two of them: The Cabaret and the 5100. Images borrowed on the net. I ...
A beautiful watch and one I used to love, but, the large date on watches that we really don't use the date much for anymore, seems kind of dated (pardon the pun) to me.

Exquisite, Nicolas!
Look at your second photo and that beautiful movement designed for the case... Sublime.
