thx
Decision day is this friday - I agree they are quite different as far as perpetuals go, but both do share some characteristics - stylish, clean, classical design, excellent movements... I'm a humungous fan of both houses. Been visiting both ADs trying the watches on regularly (and driving both ADs nuts), the only things that sort of bug me with the L&S dial are the "Perpetual calender" inside the monthly dial and the luminous hands. The patek seems a little simpler (cleaner) in that sense, but perhaps a bit too "delicate".
Anyway, thanks very much, and please continue to add thoughts if any. Been following this forum with great interest and have always found it very informative.
Question for Lange Perpetual owners
Want to take the leap and get a perpetual calender, but am struggling between the lange and the patek 5140. One concern i have with the lange is the possible difficulty in reading the dial - was looking at my friend's watch and thought that the font and o...
They are very different watches.
I love the layout of the dial of the Patek but the Lange has a second hand... Each indication can be advanced individually with the Lange... the Patek has a more "delicate" design and is thinner than the Lange... each watch is of course a masterpiece and ...
I prefer the size of the Lange,...
Also like the embossed moon, which is much easier to see. And I like the big date. And I like the movement, especially the Lange rotor. I also think the Lange is overall easier to read what you really want the see, normally - the time and date. And I like...
I sometimes found that the date on my Patek........
5140 was difficult to read,especially when the date got into the 20's. But at the same time, I have to say that I found the dials on the L&S a bit to small, especially the leap year indicator. Saying all of that, in hindsight I would probably now choice t...
Personally I prefer the PP5059, the biggest concern
on Lange perpetual are luminous hands and markers which IMHO are out of context with a classic watch. Don't get me wrong, I like the use of luminous in a Rolex, Panerai or BP FF but NOT Lange or Breguet!

Conclusion
I got it. Langematik Perpetual platinum model, got it a day early, decided to pull the trigger as I made up my mind. It's a cool little thing, very happy with it, I keep on looking at it. I think if I had gotten the rose gold model the luminous hands woul...
Congrats, and I think you made a wise choice!...
It's a fine watch. I have the same model that you purchased -- have had it for years -- and never tire of it. I didn't reply to your original post, but I greatly prefer the Lange aesthetic to the Patek look. I hope you enjoy it for many years!
