Dear TRF,

I am looking to save for a gold dress watch with a date complication next to purchase and I have shortlisted my final decision to three brands(A Lange & Sohne/Vacheron Constantin/Blancpain). Which dress watch would you buy?

A Lange & Sohne Saxonia Outsize Date 381:

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Self-Winding 85180:

Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate 6224:

Thanks for your opinion.

Current collection: Rolex Submariner 116610LV, Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional

I vote for the Lange.

I like the Lange the best.

MCMartiny · 23 October 2020, 06:32 PM

Of those options the Lange clearly comes top in my book with Vacheron second (just a shame with the date wheel not colour matched to the dial, this is a pet peeve of mine).

Might be worth also having a look at a PP Calatrava, e.g. 5227R or 5296R. Calatrava is kind of the quintessential gold dress watch.

WatchEater666 · 23 October 2020, 06:47 PM

Lange and consider GO too.

myporsche · 23 October 2020, 07:02 PM

That specific Lange, its not even close.

sgwatchguy · 23 October 2020, 07:42 PM

Lange > Vacheron > > > Blancpain

The Lange has the edge for me but the Patrimony is a beautiful timepiece as well. Can’t go wrong with either.

joli160 · 23 October 2020, 08:31 PM

The Lange, love the date

enjoythemusic · 23 October 2020, 08:52 PM

ALS by a huuuuge landslide.

Elegant dial, balanced, and my aging eyes love the big date windows.

JayHantz · 23 October 2020, 10:07 PM

Lange.

mps354 · 23 October 2020, 10:36 PM

Lange for me

trippinjimmy · 23 October 2020, 11:06 PM

That Lange...WOW...just WOW! VC I also am not a fan of non color matched date window, if you don’t need a date window, omega Seville tresor in rose gold has a similar look!

Lange absolutely, second would be he VC.

1William · 24 October 2020, 01:27 AM

VC for the style. The date on the Lange does not work for me.

raclaims · 24 October 2020, 01:41 AM

1. Lange (by a large margin)
2. VC

igibliss · 24 October 2020, 02:12 AM

VC gets my vote out of those three

Pw92676 · 24 October 2020, 03:18 AM

I like the Lange here.

Dr Process · 24 October 2020, 03:49 AM

VC because this is classic VC. For me, the patrimony is the VC to get.

bogdoc · 24 October 2020, 04:29 AM

Lange among these choices. I love PP 5227.

ALS among those three but it is not your typical restrained dress watch. Quite a statement and sportier than most in my eyes. But pretty it is.

Me? I'd likely get some Calatrava such as 5296 or 3998 depending on the preferred size...

Lamontsanders · 24 October 2020, 11:17 AM

Of those 3 I would go Lange.

sgwatch · 24 October 2020, 01:37 PM

Lange for me, given these choices

Surprised me, but the Lange of those selections.

Skyrider01 · 25 October 2020, 12:24 AM

Most here seem to prefer the Lange which is very nice.
But my vote is for the Vacheron which is dressier.
Personally, for a dress watch with a dark dial, I would pick this JLC MUT Moon.

vman · 25 October 2020, 01:24 AM

Lange
JLC Moon
...
VC

scarlet knight · 25 October 2020, 02:07 AM

I like the Lange best among the choices. But I like the JLC MUT Moon better. I had it in white/silver, found it too hard to read, packaged it in a trade for a Patek Calatrava.

scarlet knight · 25 October 2020, 02:10 AM

JPMickB83 · 25 October 2020, 02:14 AM

The Omega Trésor De Ville was my choice, since I knew whatever gold dress watch I got wouldn’t get much wrist time.

The Lange is the king of the three you suggested though.
