Not quit a fair competition haha but if it’s just the looks then I would pick the 1815 first gen.
In today’s market condition, seriously contemplating to add an ALS Chrono to my collection again
Regardless of everything that little flame of love for Lange is still there.
Which one would you pick ? The ref 1815 - 401.031 first generation or the 404.035 - mighty double split.

Thinking of the dato too, recently
But question is, why limit yourself to just these two? 
I think the rose gold black dial combo is visually very attractive, and also circumvents the issue with the earlier Datograph in platinum that could feel top heavy. Rose gold 1815 or Datograph would probably be my choice, but personally I tend to gravitate towards white metals — don’t want my watches to be overly eye catching

The choice is totally personal but since you asked and knowing what else is in your watch box , I say go big or go home ;-))) DS would be my pick ... [nt]

Perhaps another angle, what suits your collection best?
If you have a “simple” Patek chrono, perhaps the 1815 might have trouble to get its spot... the DS Will always be unique!

In terms of wearability, the 1815. In terms of complication, the Double Split. A pure Marvel.
So if your wrist can wear it, the Double Split is the one.
I wore it a few hours many years back and indeed it is very very top heavy
But what a watch right, what a blast of a movement
Black and gold is by far the more attractive watch.
Do you have the wrist to support the Double Split?
DS for its unique facia and extraordinarily gorgeous movement
Once you go DS you will never think what if or other chrono movement.
Perhaps maybe for TS and only TS

I have an obvious preference for the original 1815 chrono...
.... Having said that, you can't go wrong with any Lange chrono.
Bit unfair
