A. Lange & Söhne

I have a 5040 PP rose and am considering trading it even for a yellow gold langematic perpetual. I like them both but the Lange is a watch that I have always liked and do not wear the 5040 as much as I thought I would . Does it make sense to make such a t...

"The patina it would take on over the course of a lifetime would be very nice." Same as with a RL in YG and I am not a big fan of YG in general :-) Cheers, Oliver

Go for the Lange in this case you describe.

The Patek Philippe 240Q movement is truly a fantastic classic movement. Lange's Perpetual calendar movement is another movement that is fairly modern and easy to use, and practical. I'm a big fan of both brands. But between these two, I prefer the 5040 to...
