Since its conception in 1994, the Lange 1 has been regarded as one of the most distinguishable members of the A. Lange & Söhne family. Revered for its distinct design DNA, this model combines traditional Saxon watchmaking with a well-balanced contemporary configuration that is easy on the eyes. A stalwart of the German tastemaker, the refreshing Lange 1 was part of the novelties launched to mark the revival of the brand following their initial cessation in 1948. The now-iconic asymmetric dial was not just introduced to garner unanimous recognition among collectors but was also a statement piece that echoes their vision of a dress watch for the modern gentry.

Made in extremely small quantities, the present Lange 1 is truly a spectacle, boasting an iridescent dial fashioned entirely out of mother of pearl. Complemented with hand-finished guilloche patterns, this organic canvas is a gift of nature that flickers under the light, subtly revealing splashes of colours that shines through its surface. Sublime and divine, mother of pearl is an extremely delicate material that requires only the most skilled artisans to perfect and carve on. Framed in a white gold case, the present example retains all the captivating elements of a Lange 1, fitted with the patented oversized date windows, power reserve indication and the in-house caliber L901.4.

Offered in excellent overall conditions, the present Lange 1 Soirée is a rare bird, designed to impress and will immediately elevate any outfit.
