A. Lange & Söhne

Lange1 Timezone or Patek 5396

 

Hi all

I would like to acquire a watch that I can pass on to my son.  After some reading and visits to a number of showrooms, I have narrowed my choice to between the Lange TZ and PP 5396.  As this is going to be a major investment for me, I would like to gather some views on which would be a more worthwhile piece to get before making the decision.

Cheers!

If you are looking for an investment to appreciate, take the Patek. If you are looking for a fine watch, exquisitely finished, that looks fantastic, you can take either. I chose this.... and certainly have never regretted it. I have had many compliments f...
