A. Lange & Söhne

it will make a great companion to my 5054G.

 

The Lange measures 37.5mm in diameter and 9.5mm thickness, whereas the normal version measures 35.9mm.

The Patek 5054G is a bit smaller which measures 35.5mm in diameter and 10mm thickness.

Here are some comparison picture of my new Lange 1815 up/down Walter Lange LE and my 5054G.  Which one you guys like more?

Thank you for viewing.

It looks like you have theme going with the sister watch.

Wear it in good health.

Bill

especially when you add in the moonphase. Regardless, two wonderful watches.
As always,wear in good health. Best, Miki

of "halfhunter´s". Is it a theme for a coming collection?

Wear it in good health.

The Patek 5054 looks beautiful, but I read on a previous forum several complaints about this watch, which I will excerpt here. Were/are you concerned about this possible problem ?

"The known (for the Cal. 240 used at 5015/5054/5055/5085) "Sudden Death" effect started. Even though the power reserve would be at 40+ Hours, the watch would stop. Then, I would slightly move it and it would start working again. My watch was brand new from the factory and still gave this problem after only a few weeks. In conclusion, I loved mine (5055) and I think its one of the most beautiful contemporary Patek, but the frustration associated with the sudden death effect was so high that I had to let go of it."

"I had a 5054 that did that. It would just stop with plenty of power reserve then start again. Seemed to be random. Had PP service it but the problem came back."

.....with that as well.

Hello, Busoni,

it's interesting you ask this question - just looking through the results of a simple search in our forum, the history of this specific problem seems to be pretty balanced. I.e. there are some repeated reports of issues, but perhaps as many claimng theirs always ran fine. At the time I asked some watchmakers frequently working on this caliber - and they were very surprised when I asked about this specisif occurence. The ususal response was "...of course this is an extra flat and  thus to some extend "delicate" movement - but if everything is set up correctly it's running very good and reliable....".  PP uses it for many complications, some requiring more torque than a moonphase and power reserve/date only.

Even more interesting is the fact that I didn't hear from similar problems for quite some time now - surprising considered how much "in the focus" the 3712 and more recent 5712 are.

Best regards

Suitbert

Very interesting, I have the 5054 as well as the 5712 and never have any problem with both watches.

..... and a surprise for me how well they go along with each other.
I'd never have thought of that combination making such a balanced pair.

Best regards

Suitbert

 

G'day,

congratulations on your "Walter Lange"!!!
Wow, what a nice pair!

Thanks a lot for sharing and enjoy your beauties!!

Cheers,

Peter

The Lange is very comfortable. The weight of the watch is perfect. I can't keep my eyes off the watch. It is becoming a distraction to work. I am sure there will be more Lange in my collection in the near future (the Lange 1 and the Timezone). It is not right for my 1815 to be so lonely.
Thank you all for all the kind words.

Hi.

Congrats!its such an awesome piece to collect!

In my view,its unfair to compare with 5054G but its appropriate to put it side by side for admiration in a series of collection.

Both are great watch!Wear it and keep them in very best of everything!

 

Warm greetings,
