I find it to be charming with the blue hands, enamel dial and RG case. I remember they took forever to sell when they were released. I remember my AD giving me a nice discount to snatch it up at the time.

Does anyone here own either the rose or platinum pour lemerite with the enamel dial? Any opinions on the watch? I find the movement fascinating.

The first one is a platinum case?
I’ve only seen the black dial version, which I love, but this white dial is absolutely beautiful. I believe there are owners on the forum, so we’ll see their comments on ownership.
There's one more
218 pieces for the 2016 model year - white gold. I have recorded in-depth videos of all three variants on YouTube if you want more information about them. I don't think I am allowed to post the link directly to this forum.
PS: Right you are about the WG... Which would have been my favorite IF its black dial was in... Enamel.
I would also have loved to see this one with an enamel dial. That would be perfection.
However, one curiosity I've discovered measuring all three variants is that some examples of the enamel dial editions are roughly 1mm thicker than the black/Ag925 dial, which makes sense. But I would happily accept a slightly thicker case for the opulence of enamel.

I’m partial to the RG version👍

It is an extraordinary movement trapped in an otherwise plain package. You have to really love the technical aspects to justify it. The enamel dial is beautifully executed but overall it just lacked the wow factor for me.
The simplicity is the WOW on this one
As good as a hours / minutes / seconds watch gets.
I had the pleasure to be invited for the unvelinig of THIS watch, in 2009, if my memory serves me well, and I can tell you that it is, with the RL PLM Jumping Seconds, my favorite Lange, for the last 15 years.
I had the chance to purchase the WG and the RG brand new from AD
it is a very beautiful dial and a great movement - however, I always felt that the price was too steep for the offering compared to other pieces. And limitation for me is no justification for high pricing...
Out of the Fifty Platinum pieces in existence...
14 or 17 out of the 50 belonged to WPS members at one point.

It is a fantastic superlative watch, to handle, wind, admire front and back and of course, wear.
I had no issue with the subsequent release of the WG, black (non-enamel) dial version but, put simply, I would not have purchased my PLM if it did not have the enamel dial as for me it completes the package.
I set out at the time to purchase a perpetual calendar (PP or ALS) and came home with the PLM which was more expensive if that confirms my feelings for it.

With enamel dial and blue hands one of the most beautiful three hands watches that have a simple look but a very complicated and refined movement without a tourbillon. It is similar in
concept to the following Ferdinand Berthoud www.watchprosite.com
.
Can I just say…
…this would be another quite fantastic addition to what is already an outstanding collection.
It is everything the Logical One is not, and so I can see how it would be a nice compliment to the Gauthier. They are very much contrasts. And the enamel dial, as opposed with the WG PLM, also seems to fit with that overall contrast in style and aesthetic of the two different executions of the fusee and chain.
Thanks for sharing my captures, glad you like them!
I have had the pleasure to hang out with the rose gold variant for a while, borrowed from a good friend over the last Winter.
It is a stunning piece. A bit too formal I must admit, but a charm whenever one wears. It works good in beer gardens and gala evenings alike!
And, it has the best winding feeling, ever.
