I can definitely understand wanting to add a Patek to your collection but for me it wouldn't be this one. I will say that this Patek is practical as far as an annual calendar goes but, while it's practical and modern, it's far from elegant to my eyes. If you want an annual calendar, I'd consider both the automatic Saxonia and the manual 1815 over the Patek. Both are fairly practical, far more classic, and much more successful in design, not to mention having far better movement finishing. I do like the Patek's case with the fluted lugs but, in my opinion, that's the only thing I like about it over the Lange.
All of that said, the Lange 1815 is likely the finest chronograph ever made and a bargain at MSRP so to me it's not really a question.
