Phillips is honored to offer one each of these limited edition gold wristwatches – all with prestigious serial numbers usually reserved for Lange’s most important clients. The present yellow gold example’s number 24 of 27 was carefully selected in honor of Walter Lange’s age, 24, when in 1948, the original manufacture was destroyed.
Offered for the first time at auction in unworn condition by the original owner, it is accompanied by its original guarantee and presentation box, a testament to both Walter Lange and German engineering.
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.
