I’m terms of simplify of function and uncluttered appearance.
And if you knew nothing about who made what, my vote goes to Laurent Ferrier.
The problem with a question like this is that each watch carries the knowledge of it’s price, collectability and desirability. It’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

Battle of Unique Calendar

I know they are neither equal nor comparable white metal. Please kindly choose your favorite No 1. 5212A-001 Calender No 2. Historique Triple Calendrier 1942 No 3. Zeitwerk Date No 4 Annual Calendar School ...
This is a little silly, so I'm breaking it up into two tiers.

The PP vs the VC: I will go against the grain and pick the VC. It's highly underrated and better finished than the PP. I like the old time looks a little better than the PP, although that is up to one's taste, of course. The ALS vs the LF: I choose the Ze...
Thank you Spangles

The PP 5212/1A
By: sham1 : February 12th, 2020-18:47
due to the patina of the dial, the dial layout, the lugs, the hand written day of week and most importantly, because I own one!
Not possible
By: sham1 : February 13th, 2020-22:32
as I would have to sell 75% of my collection to fund one! Have you ordered one?!
i like it too
By: sham1 : February 13th, 2020-23:21
but probably not enough to buy one. A tad too large for me anyway
Zeitwerk Date all the way!
By: Lankysudanese : February 12th, 2020-18:53
If you want something unique and impeccably-finished, the Zeitwerk Date is the only one that can provide on both counts. However, keep in mind that it’s a huge watch ...
A tough call but..

In 4th place is the LF to be honest I’ve never been a fan of their offerings and the size would be off putting. In 3rd place, as iconic it may be the Lange does nothing for me and I typically lean towards a more traditional analogue style. Furthermore the...
The VCs are SS too...

But it's tough to choose between two beauties!

I have been collecting for 20years. I think after a certain time I decided to stay away from watches with dates, and sometimes even moonphase. As I rotate everyday I try to minimize my time setting watches. On a side note, this is a big difference between...
VC it is

Thank you drphileasfogg
The Meteorite is fair addition to the battle [nt]
By: Gelato Monster : February 13th, 2020-19:17
you are most welcome to edit my first post and add the meteorite. At the same if you would you could make my LF picture smaller so they are all better comparably viewed May I add JLC as your choice? Are you sure not picking one out of the first 4 over the...

PP VC ALS LF 3 5 4 1
I would pick the PP
By: ChristianDK : February 13th, 2020-22:53
The reason is, I see a calendar watch as an everyday complication. I think PP has struck a very fine balance with this new piece. Casual, modern and original with the weeks display. Very versatile. The styling sings to me.
Today Score

PP VC ALS LF 4 5 4 1
