I don't believe the Langematik Perpetual in Pt is in the current catalog
There are several other PC watches by Lange and many of them are available in Pt. Their website is aggravating to navigate, so you are best off ordering a catalog for an overview of the various models and variants. You should try these at an AD or boutique to get a sense for wearability and general connection to the watch as they have a rather different design sensibility than Patek.
I never tire of this one.
The information that matters the most on a daily basis is highly visible. They really did get this right the first time around. ...
This is such a classic and nice PC...
Which version comes first, the one with pusher at 10 or yours? I’m speculating they might add the day/night disk function to the next update. Rgds Raymond
Thanks for the info, very tempted to get this Pt version...
It’s not being loved by market which makes people who likes it in favorable position.
How do you mean "it's not being loved by market"?
I'm curious about this. From what I can tell, preowned prices for these have not changed much in many years, and there's no difference in preowned price between those with the large protruding rectangular pusher and those with the small circular recessed ...
Recently saw 3 in the same dealer....
2 with pusher and 1 without, and the price (not to discuss, I know) is very tempting if you know what I mean, for a Pt piece of PC from a brand that is one of the best in the industry. So the 1 pusher at 10 o'clock can adjust day, date, moonphase? I wonde...
Yes, correct -- adjusts day/date/moonphase all with one push! Lange did not do a very good job...
... of advertising this feature. This button is very convenient if you don't wear the watch every day and if you don't keep the watch on a winder. After you set each individual indicator once -- when you first get the watch -- you'll never have to set any...
Good description.
Lange does a lousy job of advertising this, as they do their splendid moonphase, or the Sax-O-Mat complication. And they are built like tanks. Mine is from 2004 worn in rotation. Still has great amplitude and within 3s/day, never serviced. And I would sub...
You won’t go wrong with a Langematik Perpetual.
It really is a very special piece. I would go for Pt. Mine is 14 yrs old now, still keeps time to a few seconds a day and still has a strong amplitude on my timegrapher. The hand winding remains buttery smooth after all these years. These are very well en...
Sadly true across their entire product line.
However, the retail price was around $55K back in the day if I remember and this model in all its variants has been around since 2001. I suspect there are many of these floating around the used market.
Why is this watch so unpopular?
I have always liked it. I had the rose version which I eventually sold. I did not like the winding box at all. Way too tension on the spring to affix the watch. I really like brushed or satin sides and wish the rose had them. The watch was hard to read fo...
I don't know if it is unpopular.
However, I get the sense that the market doesn't accept their pricing. Tough situation for a young brand. The legibility doesn't bother me as once you set the watch, the time and date are readily visible. There has been an explosion of affordable perpetua...
Dial on the Platinum Version
Does anyone know if there is a difference in the color/shade of the dial between the platinum version with the pusher and the version without the pusher? Also, seems like the only downside of the pusher is if you hit it accidentally right?
Patek Guy thinking about getting a Lange PC.
Can anyone recommend a nice Perpetual Calendar to sway me into the Lange world? I am open minded to other brands believe it or not! I have owned many Pateks but now for many reasons I am considering Lange. I think the quality of the case and movement fini...
I don't believe the Langematik Perpetual in Pt is in the current catalog
However, these are readily available in the pre-owned market. The muted grey dial variant was released first and later replaced by a shinier silver dial. The older models had a push button to advance all the PC functions in sync and the newer ones have a ...
To galt and CB, re dial variations on the 310.025 (PT Langematik Perpetual)...
Lange changed the dial color on this model several years ago, long after they changed the "advance-everything-by-one-day" pusher from large/rectangular/protruding to small/round/recessed. All pieces with the rectangular pusher should have the older dials ...
Thank you very much.
The pics really help. I too like the newer dial. The fast set mechanism is nice. With the Patek PC you must be careful to set each function separately and in the correct order. Otherwise you can damage the movement. Lange makes a beautiful watch. I hope t...
Thank you
Fantastic this really helps. Would you say this is closer to the Saxonia Calendar in Platinum or WG?
I don't remember...
I did make this comparison but don't remember what I concluded. I do know that the rhodiums dials that Lange uses on many of its platinum models do vary in sheen from model to model. The pinkish hue that I described on the older PT Langematik Perpetual rh...
I fail to see any hint of pink in my matt grey dial, try as I might.
But that’s just me. My reduced color perception must be going in tandem with my presbyopia. I quite like the older dial as it is very restrained and different than the typical Swiss silver dials. And I prefer the push button over a recessed push pin. Diff...
You're definitely not alone!
I have a friend who also prefers the older matte dial. For me, the newer dial plus the protruding pushbutton is my preferred combination. I have never pushed the button accidentally, nor have I met anyone who has ever pushed it accidentally (or pushed the...
Saxonia Calendar Dials
The above post was super interesting to see. Do you happen to know if there are are more than one silber/white dial version of the saxonia calendar? In some pics the dial looks very white and I can't tell if there is another version besides the white silv...
