Patek 5159G
Just had lunch with a friend of mine and he was wearing his Patek 5159G (and me the Langematik Perpetual in platinum). The Patek looks stunning in the wild, all the pictures I have seen so far do not show at all the beauty of that piece. Only "critics": a 5159P would be even nicer but is not available (at least so far).
What would be the best alternative to Langematik Perpetual?
Hello everyone! Langematik Perpetual was my first Lange and have loved it so much, but for some reason am kinda apart for now. And I am thinking/ wondering... what would be the second best perpetual watch out there in the similar or smaller price range? S...

A different style, a wonderful work and it can be adjusted forward and backward. A good choice to be an alternative at your Langematik. Fr.Xavier...
Of course, FX, BUT
42mm... I know it, as I own it. But this is a fantastic watch and the most effiicient and original PC as you can² set all the pc datas backwards and forwards... There is another more classic, but very elegant choice: PP 5140. You want more affordable? JLC...
Yes that's true.
But I wished to find a QP which has a quite different design from the Langematik. The PP 5140 and the JLC are very classic... but of course, they are superb watches. Fr.Xavier
Thanks everyone!
Hey, thank you everyone! JLC seems quite attractive. How old is this model? Didn't they make black dial one with WG ot PT? I had a bad experience with JLC when I asked for simple overhaul servicing. They said 22 weeks for such simple work, and therefore, ...
So
RO is Audemars Piguet Royal Oak... QP is the French Abrviation for Perpetual Calendar... Here's the UN 38,5mm, or newer 40m: Her's the JLC perpetual calendar in SS with the bllack dial..You will have to uhnt it as it is sold out... Another great JLC QP: T...
U-mnnnn.
Thanks, Nicolas, as always! I will think very hard about this. RO skelton is not my taste. UN looks interesting lacking moonphase. But JLC black is most attractive - but it may be too light.... U-mnnnn. I will have to think deep. If any other ideas someon...
Senator Navigator Perpetual
Nice watch, and not that expensive, even in Platinum... Go to Glasshutte froum and see Dr No's post... Tempting... Best. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2008-09-23 13:11:56
There could also be Blancpain
They make a nice, though somewhat formal, QP in the older Villeret range. It is a chronograph too, steel and 34mm: as well as a 38mm Steel Leman with chronograph Sadly I can't find that they make the newer Villeret with a perpetual calendar except in rose...
Thanks! Beautiful piece! But I...
Thanks! Beautiful piece! But I don't need chronograph.... I will put this in the candidates, too, though. Thanks again!
JLC QP: The Antoine Lecoultre 8 Days Perpetual in platinum , but 41,5mm...
The JLC is a superb option to consider - JLC QP: The Antoine Lecoultre 8 Days Perpetual in platinum , but 41,5mm... It also has a 4 digit 'year' display. BP [Blancpain] too is a winderful option - I like watches from this house a lot. http://www.blancpain...
You didin't say....
why you are feeling "kinda apart" with the LP. i alternate my LP with the 5140. In terms of size, weight and aesthetics, they are complete opposites and in my eyes a great complement to each other! I think they are similarly priced as well. Good luck with...
It's now a "trial" "transition"...
It's now a "trial" "transition" period. Maybe a bit puzzling, but let's keep it that way. Hmnnn. PP. I have never been a fan of PP.... But, I will keep open mind and think about it. Chances are, I may not need perpetual anyway, or may need just day and da...
Ken, in that
case why not go all the extreme to a manual wind and no date just pure basic.
... Learn love it again...
Ken, I have read he entire thread and my advise is for you to hide your lange for a few months and you will love it again ! In my view, the lange PC is the best looking of all the current PCs out there... Maybe not the best advise if you are itching for a...
If the round case shape is not obligatory
I would go for this one my favorite VINTAGE 1945 KING SIZE PERPETUAL CALENDAR Best Damian...
GO Perpetuals
Hi Ken, Glashutte Original has some really beautiful perpetuals currently on the market. In white metal they have the Senator in SS, and also, there is a Platinum version with a black dial. You can check them out on the GO website. Best, Scott
Hi Scott, I knew you...
Hi Scott, I knew you would chime in. I am looking at the LE Platinum with roman numerals... What do you think?
Beautiful Piece
Ken, I think the new LE Perpetual Senator in Platinum w/ Romans is a gorgeous watch. I believe the size is 40mm as are all of the Senators. Im guessing it would be similar to the size of your Meissen. This new LE perpetual is great, however I think I am p...
Really depends. But to my...
Really depends. But to my taste, the past GO Perpetuals were kind of "boring" - my apologies for the lack of the better words - but this roman numeral black dial is kind of "exciting". Maybe I am too young :-) But the flat black dial still seems to be mis...
Hi Thanks! This is Breguet,...
Hi Thanks! This is Breguet, right? One of my favorite brands. Will you tell me the model number? Still manufactured? How much would it be in the used market? White metal variation, too? Thanks! Ken
Actually it's made by Parmigiani,
although it is VERY similar to the Breguet offering. The first generation of this piece actually shares the same movement w/ Breguet, if I recalled correctly. Mine as pictured above, is the second generation version, which is no longer available, unfortun...
Hi, Thanks for your information. ...
Hi, Thanks for your information. Looks very nice. Will you please tell me the model number and where I should be able to get one? I want more information about this (size, case material, variattion, vintage, etc.). Thanks agian! Ken
