Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) shares his acquisition of the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph in rose gold with a black dial, affectionately known as the 'Dufour Datograph.' This post details his preference for the warmer aesthetic of rose gold over platinum and his journey to find this specific, less commonly produced variant. His personal reflections offer a unique collector's perspective on a highly sought-after chronograph.
I love the platinum Dato but prefer the RG black dial Dato for its warmth. 
The Pt Dato is such a beast that I am not sure the rose gold is better.. But it is you, and your choice. And yes, it makes sense to have your 2 Lange in the same metal. Enjoy, my friend! Best, Nicolas
Between pt Dato and "dufour Dato". The warmth of RG and the allure of RG and black dial flipped me to the dufour Dato side ! :) I think you are very much a white metal guy. I suspect Fx also likes RG and black dial combinations :) Actually from mine will be called "Wongraph" from now on :) My name for my watch :) Cheers Robin
Great to discover this combo Dufourgraph (or Wongraph) on brown strap and deployant buckle. Wait to discover your following posts on this splendid watch. How do you describe the feeling on wrist of your 2 versions: Pt and RG? For me, Pt version was too heavy for me and at each time I had the feeling that my wrist was turning. A no go to have one. Enjoy your new RG babies. BR, Patrickh
Wrist comfort wise I do prefer this RG version to be honest. I tend to wear my Pt version in the past for a few hours in the office then remove it to rest my wrist and also to admire the movement from the caseback. We tried our friend's Dato up down in Pt and found that it somehow sat better on the wrist as the weight is more distributed across a wider 41mm compared to the dato's 39mm Will let you know how I feel about this RG Dato over time in terms of its weight and comfort on the wrist but de
for sure. A "Datograph collector" needs to have both, at least. Will you make them complete, one day. ... Only a few more to go ... Congrats, so far! I start to think you are infected by our common friend Horo, even when he isn´t that often here anymore. Still he is with you in Singapur ... :-) Just so hungy you are ... Keep them coming and thanks a lot for sharing your passion! Oliver
I also have tried the Dato up/down, more comfortable on my wrist but not my taste in fact. Warm (RG) regards ;-)) Patrickh
