Both are beautiful and great in their own style

Patek is housing annual calendar
while Lange is using a perpetual calendar this time.
Both have chronographs on top of that.

This or that?

So this combat is a little strange. Normally you would compare the datograph with the 5270, not the 5905. But with discounts the datograph is actually not that far apart. At least I think the comparison is realistic. 5270P is out of reach for me, but ther...
In this case the Patek .

The Dato might be a perpetual but all the indications are cramped and hard to read at a glance , vs. the Patek which is “just” an annual calendar but you can easily read everything, and I’m not even mentioning value retention... But all it matters which o...
Agreed

But don't forget the 5905 case. Definitively better than the Lange.

5-1 for this
By: Thomahof : November 9th, 2019-23:30
But what about that concave bezel? The value retention? The legibility? And the "Patek" on the dial?
Datograph for me

More discrete, I like the white gold - grey dial combo with silver subdials. And the movement is to die for.
Bothe great

To me fill different needs... one is a complicated elegant piece and the other a sporty elegant piece. Both in case execution, dial execution, movement execution... really depends on what best suits lifestyle and complements the existing inventory the mos...
Thanks Keks

I always value your input 😀
Given the dial design...

I just wouldn't wear the Lange PCC a lot. It looks a little too old-fashioned and cluttered in my eyes. In contrast I really like the Patek ACC and prefer the chrono function over the 24h / moonphase subdial on most other Patek ACs. If the 5905 was a litt...
Back shots?
By: gregnascimento : November 10th, 2019-04:43
mIght suggest including back shots of each to help those undecided....
No point I think

On the backside, the Lange crushes the Patek. Most of the movement on the Patek is also hidden behind the large rotor. Thomas
Agree on Movement Comparison
By: gregnascimento : November 10th, 2019-08:47
On backside ALS Dato is a clear winner vs the 5905 movement. Clarity of dial I would give to 5905 as Dato is slightly too busy for my taste compared to 5905. Added 1815 Chrono first and then 5905 to my collection at later time which allows the best of bot...
Best of both worlds!

Congratulations on your collection! I have had a 1815 chronograph myself, but long gone unfortunately... Thomas
Sorry to hear
By: gregnascimento : November 10th, 2019-11:39
What did you move onto after the 1815 chronograph?
The Datograph
By: seehoo : November 10th, 2019-06:26
At first glance...the dial may look cluttered. But once you get to understand the intricacy,it’s not hard to read. Btw,I’m partial too coz I own one.
This...

Manual wind, perpetual, value for money, finishing, makes the Lange a winner in my eyes. Especially if you are thinking 5270p down the road the 5905 becomes redundant at some point... Peter
Good point!
By: Thomahof : November 10th, 2019-07:20
For me a Dato on bracelet 5270P might be my ultimate exit collection. Thomas
The Datagraph is a sight to behold
By: watch-er : November 10th, 2019-08:39
but wears very big, is very top heavy and is very hard to read the calendar sub dials. For an all around wearable watch the PP wins by a wide margin. From a purely mechanical and movement basis the Datagraph is far more spectacular than this PP. This PP i...
