The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 displaying eccentric time and seconds with an asymmetrically positioned large date window and power reserve at 3 o’clock is one of the most immediately recognizable Lange models. A flagship model for the firm, A. Lange & Söhne first released the coveted Lange 1 model in 1994 being one of the very first models to be serially produced after the revitalization of the brand by Walter Lange. It is now widely considered as one of the cornerstones of the brand.

In 1997, the firm released a downsized version of the Lange 1 with the introduction of the Little Lange 1 with a reduced case size of 36.1mm. Throughout the years, the Little Lange 1 continued to flourish with various case metals and dial materials, mostly paired with a diamond-set bezel. Among the various dial designs, guilloche examples, such as the present one, as well as mother of pearl dials were added to the inventory.

Released in 2014, the present example Little Lange 1 Soirée was made to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Lange 1 model. Part of a pair, originally offered alongside the larger version, a Lange 1, only 20 pieces were made, with the present watch being number 19. It most notably displays a black guilloché dial with a diamond-set bezel, which contrasts beautifully against the dark background. There couldn't be a more suiting word than Soirée to describe the watch; all in elegance, reminiscent of a starry night sky.

The timepiece was originally presented as a set with Lot 25, a Lange 1, as well as a special numbered box which is offered without reserve, for someone who will buy both timepieces and want to reunited them in a box together.

Timeless in aesthetics, the present Little Lange 1 glittering with subtlety is preserved in excellent, like new condition and exudes the spirit of the German manufacturer.
