Fusing delicate designs with everyday functionality, the Langematik Perpetual is one of the most sought-after interpretations in A. Lange & Söhne’s perpetual calendar collection. The most notable feature of this yellow gold ref. 310.021 is its large date windows at 12 o’clock. Easily recognized as one of the first iterations to offer this display, it has since become a hallmark of many of the German watchmaker’s later models. Complementing this attribute, the traditional perpetual calendar dial layout includes three smaller subsidiary counters: a moon phases indication, a 24-hour indicator and a leap year display, along with a patented zero-reset mechanism that ensures fast and precise time-setting.
The combination of these intricate complications results in a beautifully balanced cream/champagne dial framed by an elegant yellow gold case. What makes this present example particularly special is its condition: crisp and untouched, the timepiece has developed a rich yellow patina with hardly any signs of wear. Highly attractive and cherished by its owner, the A. Lange & Söhne Langematik Perpetual ref. 310.021 is truly a time capsule collector's piece.
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.
