Patek vs. Lange ...
Hello all,
Here are two pictures I received from a friend, who, btw, requested to stay anonymous.
Front: 
And back:
And a question: ""Is the Patek "worth" twice the price of the Lange?""
If you search the (incredible!) Antiquorum website, you will find two Patek 5565´s being auctioned and fetching approx USD 42K and 45K
A similar search for the Lange learns that the Jubilee´s auctioned sold at approx. USD 15K ~ 18K
So, two watches, very different but very similar as well, but worlds apart according to the prices fetched at auctions.
Love to hear your opinion(s).
Edwin

Not even in the same league
I would take the Lange and buy a nice Journe with with extra 25k left over.
I wonder......
who Patek is actually targeting to purchase that watch It certainly is not the "purist". _Ron
Just wondering.... did you ever see both watches in metal?
For me, I did.... and I picked 5565 without a second thought. Since you asked for comments..... I believe, for most (if not all) true PP collectors, they admire the TRUE tradition, TRUE history, TRUE value, TRUE classic of PP. It is hardly any brand that ...
Looks like an Oris
From an investment perspective it's clearly the better watch. But really, it's a fairly pedestrian piece of work. The mystique of the brand name adds a lot, in this case.
Thanks for your comment but....
if that's really what you think, I would recommend you to look for that brands that create weird monster... If you want someone to spot (far away from you) that you are wearing a PATEK (or a high-end, luxury watch), I think most Patek models would not be ...
Touchy, touchy.....
I only happen to own fairly classical watches, including a 5127R. I'm just saying I find the 5565 a rather tedious marketing exercise, aimed at rewarding good customers by essentially giving them a stainless steel Calatrava guaranteed to rise in value.
Agreed
It's an okay watch, nothing more, and Patek is just so successful at luring us all in, including me--until lately. Everything Patek does strikes me as shameless.
