Dear Nig
If you want to diversify your collection (from a pure brand point of view), I would say the Lange 1. A must have for sure.
Otherwise (and you almost answered alone to your question as you called it "my dream watch), the PP 5110P which is stunning.
Best wishes

Help! Between Patek and A.Lange & Sohne
Dear all, I am saving up for my next watch. Am struggling among the three watchs below: 1. A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin 37mm - financially I could afford to buy this right now. To me it represents impeccable value and it is the right size for me. Being a...
Hi Nig, given your recent post on the aquanaut, I would suggest that you consider whether ...
you want a focused (with more Patek) or a more diversified (Patek, Lange and others) collection. No matter what, enjoy the hunt ! Cheers, Gordon
Thanks Gordon
I would definitely want another Patek considering Aquanaut is a sport watch. As you may notice I do not have any watch with "interesting" complications, nor in "expensive" metal. Therefore it might be the direction. But at the same time I also do not have...
The financial factor is well understood by us PuristS !
This financial factor has different meanings. If you mean budget, then you either buy a Lange now to satisfy your immediate thirst instead of saving and waiting for the 5110P. If you mean value retention, then no doubt the 5110P will be better. Your call ...
The Grande Seconde, Arnold & Son Moon and IWC Chronograph
are all dress watches more or less? No? If you really want a formal dress watch shouldn\'t you go for a very plain 3 hand watch? Like a Calatrava, Richard Lange, 1815, FPJ Chronometre Souveraine, etc? Answering your question: Go for your dream watch! No d...
from the three you mention...easy....
.....the 5110P...you call it your dream watch......that would be my choice...it is a dream watch.

I agree with Baron
Dream watch will always be your dream watch, so it's up to you, not us. I've bought and sold many watches, realizing that only few are worthy to be worn. Follow your feelings and you'll never be wrong. (except for women) You have already a nice collection...
if PP 5110P is your dream watch and
you have found one in very good condition, did you think about a trade or to put one of your watch (which stayed so long on the safe and not worn) for sale. You are the only judge in that matter. And enjoy the hunt. Best, Patrickh
Thanks Patrick
For now I have no plan to sell any of mine so have to work harder for my next purchase! Just not sure if it is easy to find a preowned 5110p...
Don't forget the 5110G
Also a very strong contender.. Patek and Lange have a very different feel, and I would highly suggest that you try them on. The L1 has a really strong wrist presence, wheras the 5110 is "softer". Are you a patek guy or a Lange guy? öhne/patek-vs-lange-on-...
I wouldn't buy the Saxonia Ultra Thin.
It is just too simple, comparing with the two other competitors! Although I love simple things, but the two others are better watches in every terms! I would choose the iconic Lange 1! Why? See this pic: Yours, Adam ...
Being patient is definitely worth it!
Sometimes we have to wait to get what we really want and believe me the wait will make you treasure the 5110P even more when your finally attain it. The Lange ultra thin and even the Lange 1 are excellent timepieces but the 5110P (in fact any of the 5110s...
Interesting question Nig.....
my take on it is, that it does not matter what the price of the watch is, many people who can easily pay for Patek choose Lange, I would buy the 1815 honey gold-my favorite. Best Edward
If you really think it over, it's easy.
Patek 5110P is your dream watch. In case you go for anything else, you will regret. And if you sell this "anything else" in order to go for your dream watch, you will probably loose some money. If you get 5110P and you do not like it, you can probably sel...
Did you
Ever consider 5196 (G, R, J or P)? I would. If your list has really narrowed down to the options you mentioned, then I\'d say save for a 5110. Good luck with your decision
It is nice to have such project :)
Well, I don't have a single answer but several input to add maybe. You'll have to pay a visit to your ADs and see them several times more, this will help you a lot feeling the ones that fuel your passion and the ones that you maybe feel you won't like as ...
Merci Mark
For sharing your experience! I will try to be patient and try to realise my dream. Just not sure if it is easy to find a good condition preowned 5110p out thete.
5110P gets my vote
It is unique, it is beautiful from every perspective (case, dial, colors, etc), it has a very nice microrotor movement, etc etc etc You will not regret the added investment down the line. All the best, Alex
Good luck Nig...
5110P in my view, bcos it is your dream watch & i think most relevant complication for now... others are a good watch too - a wise man said, "focus is all about saying no to everything else even though they're good choices" (btw it was from Steve Jobs...
Dream
The answer is in your question. You wrote the magic word "dream" so make it happen and live your dream
