Catalogue Essay
The brown is in fact quite unique in its shade. Soft with a beautiful sheen, the guilloche sunken subdial appears to have a darker shade that compliments the milky brown elegantly. Providing a power reserve of 72 hours, this Saxonia is powered by the L086.1 calibre with a self-winding rotor. Consistently attractive, the components such as the balance cock are finished with the highest Germany quality.
This very example is extremely well-preserved with hardly any signs of use and wear. Completed with its accessories, this is a wonderful opportunity to add this unique shade of brown to your collection.
A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally 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.
