Tough choice
But I'd go for the IWC. It's a beautiful looking watch with great clarity on the dial and sub-dials. Great history. Beautiful movement and would be your first high end complication of a perpetual calendar. It's very sizeable on the wrist and in gold does give you and extra bit of 'bling' but without being 'in your face'. If purchased used, you will also have some change left vs looking at the ALS ( which btw is stunning!)
Your Recommendation on a 40,000 Watch
I would like to pull the trigger on a new watch and my budget is approximately 30- $40,000 US. My current collection includes a Stainless Steel Blue Dial Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, a Rolex Yachtmaster Full Gold White Dial, A Zenith Big Pilot Limi...
IWC Perpetual is a gud value proposition and fits your 6'10" wrists...
...criterion much better. It is a full complication and automatic compared to PP and Lange resp. Nautilus shud be on bracelet if picked and lange time zone is just a messed up face. Take a look at Lange Perpetual Langematik and this IWC ... ...
Langematic
Langematic is stunning. Thank you for pointing it out. I agree, it's better than the Time Zone. Regarding the IWC, I am not a fan of black watches.
I would definitely go for ...
... the patek one, and if you can put a little more then go for the grand complications one it's awesome. good choices overall
UTT Quantieme Lunaire or Chronograhe,
they are all interesting and a bargain for what they are.
My favourite is the Duometre chrono, with their dual time a close second...
The moonphase you have pictured is very unusual in that it has a constant foudroyante rocketing around the subdial. It's an interesting juxtaposition against the sedentary moon phase...
I would choose Patek
either this Nautilus model with its iconic 240 calibre or the 5980 R with maybe this combination. The strap color matches very well IMHO. Cheers, patrickh ...
you recognized for sure
the well known Parisian Strapmaker. His name starts with A.. ;-))
If you and/or your son travel timezones frequently, the Lange.
If not, the IWC. Marcelo

Patek by only a small margin
I have seen this Patek and on the looks, for me that is the winner. I would go for the Lange if it was the Annual Calendar or Grand Lange. If they are too small, how about a good pre-owned Datograph. I am not that keen on the dual time, way too busy and h...
I'd pick the IWC
The watch you show there is beautiful, reliable (very important!) and classy. Plus its very symmetrical and LEGIBLE design does without cutting off corners of numbers (except the 12) or wacky asymmetrical location of windows or pointers. The perpetual wit...
out of this three the Lange
it has more technical aspects than the Patek. The IWC, although I liked it once, is too big to my taste. All three are very nice pieces of watch making and jewellery. Best Moritz
I'd wait and do nothing for awhile...
... until a clear favorite emerges and speaks to you (and maybe to your son -- see which one he likes, since he wears them a lot). These three watches are so very different, and you're also considering brands such as VC, Breguet, etc. Thus, I wonder if yo...
All three are very nice..............
The IWC is chunky were as the Patek is somewhat thin and the Lange is somewhere in the middle. I tend to wear my thicker watches mostly on the weekends and most times prefer a thinner watch. (I have to wear a suit everyday) To me I would go with the Patek...
Any Lange will do!
But if you want a bit more sporty; go for the Nautilus. Personally I\'d pick a steel one.
