This visual effect gets emphasized by the symmetric position of the outsized date which looks much better on a Lange 1 IMO.

Agreed. There is a symmetry in the asymmetrical 5712, unlike the 5822p.

And now that you mentioned it, I can’t unsee the open space in the lower left corner, and how squished to the middle the day / moon phase sub-dial is.

The complication is interesting, though. I hope it gets rolled out on other references.

Great shots.

It is interesting how we all see things differently, despite liking the 5712 (and having one on order) I have the opposite view about the dial layout when compared to the 5822. It is the 5712 that has the squished seconds subdial on the right, almost crashing into the bezel in a very odd way. And don't ask about the power reserve, what is that doing both positionally and why is it even included on an automatic watch.
