In 2013, A. Lange & Söhne released the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar, and this model was one of their most coveted and complicated timepieces. Built in the signature A. Lange & Söhne fashion, this watch is powered by a hand-wound movement cal. L101.1, comprised of 631 individual parts with hand-finished and hand-engraved bridges and plates. The mechanism of the perpetual calendar alone requires 211 components, and a further 206 account for the rattrapante chronograph. A movement that is already stunning on its own, the model is beautiful both inside and out.

The mechanical marvel at hand features a warm argenté dial encased in pink gold. The 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar embodies all the desired traits of the 1815 collection, including the rail-way minute track, Arabic numerals, the distinct three-dots motif over each quarter.

A true sight to behold, the present well-preserved pink gold A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar is offered with its complete original accessories as well as a rich blue crocodile strap to mix and match.

German | 1845

Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.


On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
