Incredibly gorgeous piece....
I can't hold back any more!
I received the Datograph Perpetual WG about the same time as Craig and, like him, have been totally mesmerized by the watch.
The model is not new (see PeterCDE's brilliant post: Under the Hammer: "Datograph Perpetual in the Test Lab" in Oct 2008) - Lange simply changed the metal and some of the appearance and I won't repeat the technical specifications here. The new dial and moonphase, however, have done wonders and added a much more lively dimension to the watch.
The movement is made up of 556 parts, of which 223 are dedicated to the perpetual calendar.
Here are some lovely pictures taken by my friend. Enjoy.

Sam, fantastic!
And how gentlemanly of you to allow Craig a bit of time before presenting your new watch to the forum. Of course, the watch is a thing of beauty. Enjoy it, wear it in the best of health. Best, Jed
LOL
Thx. The delay was not deliberate I was traveling... Craig posted great pics too. The way he described his acquisition, the mind frame was very, very similar. Best Sam
Great watch and DANG! GREAT GREAT SHOTS
Does your friend leverage on his photography skills professionally? If not, I think he should. I know nuts about photography but these just seem to have a depth, dimension and emotion if you will that jumps at you on first sight. I think he could make a l...
He goes on this site from time to time....
and will be very happy reading your compliments. Best Sam
Really Nice - Wear It Well
It is leaps and bounds above the plat version, Really very very nice. Enjoy!
Yours pics, my friend, are awesome
And this D Lux 4 sounds very familiar to me, in this Titanium Version! Your collection is reaching a very high level, my friend, you will never cease to amaze me. Best, Nicolas
Under your excellent influence Nicolas ...
I know you have the same toy as well Best Sam
Not really Sam, but almost!
As mine is the Datograph, not the perpetual Dato... So, my influence is a bit limited! Best, my friend. Nicoas
Outstanding Sam!!!!!
What can I say Sam? Great minds think a like. This watch is a work of art, both aesthetically and technically. Congratulations on a wonderful acquisition. Moreover, kudos on some great photosgraphs (with your permission, I would like to borrow a couple). ...
By all means Craig
Looks like we have similar tastes....if you can PM me with your email address, I can send you high resolution pics next week, and you can use them as wallpaper if you like... The Datograph Perpetual is definitely the best piece I ever owned and I am glad ...
It is just amazing to see ...
what a "simple" change of the dial can do. Just beautiful. The grey couple works very well together Thanks for sharing. Oliver
Very nice indeed Sam!
Those pics. really do it justice.Tell us how it feels compared to the Langematik Perpetual. Must be such a pleasure operating the chrono pushers and feeling the smoothness of the winding mechanism.I am soo jealous Cheers Fernando
A mesmerising piece indeed Sam!
Many congrats on your new acquisition! Very beautiful shots taken by your friend, which enhances this superlative masterpiece into the stratosphere. Wear it in the best of health! Tschuss Stephen
Congratulation......
Hi there, Big Congrats,on this newly launch piece. Enjoy and all the best. BHK9
Incredible watch & the pics that goes with it..
....Sam, ur an artist. For ur taste in watches, as u have some of the watches i think are the most desirable out there. Then there is the way u can enhance their beauty with those gorgeous pics. Huge congratulation, and wear them in good health my friend!...
Fantastic pics Sam !
Congrats for this great watch, the new dial really enhances the beauty of the watch. My only concern about it is a small power reserve which is a pity for a perpetual watch. But it's a stunning watch. Fr.Xavier
Yes...I am not happy with the 36 hours power reserve too
which means I have to wind it practically every day! Best Sam
The small power reserve is no problem . . . .
with the one button synchronized advance of all calendar functions. This is an amazing feature that should be present on ALL perpetual calendars. Craig
Stunning movement.
It would be a perfect watch to me if the dial layout can be simpler. Regards Ling
Congratulations Sam........................
It is a truly beautiful timepiece with an incredible and stunning movement.
Wow...I think this particular piece
look even better than all the PP5970. Very Nice. Congrats *CL
Fantastic pictures my friend
of a fantastic watch.They are amongst the best pics I've ever seen.A true beauty.Take care,Mo.
Congrats Sam...seems the wait was well worth it!
...and a nice 'upgrade', if I do say so... ;-) Sorry to miss you the other night...but sure we'll cross paths again soon! -E
