Full-Cataloguing
- This yellow gold ref. 235.021 stands as a classic embodiment of the collection’s ethos—where simplicity meets elegance. Its dial carries the distinct DNA of the 1815 family: a precise railway-track minute chapter, punctuated by three dots at each quarter, paired with elegant Arabic numerals—a signature first seen on the iconic 1994 Tourbillon “Pour le Mérite.”
- The blued steel hands provide a captivating contrast as they glide over the pristine silvered dial, passing gracefully above the small seconds sub-dial adorned with a subtle azurage finish. Yet, the true revelation awaits on the reverse. Behind its sapphire case back lies the meticulously finished L 051.1 movement with a hand engraved balance cock featuring the classic Lange floral motif.
- Presented with its guarantee and presentation box, this timepiece is more than a watch; it is a discreet statement of refinement—an ideal dress companion for the modern connoisseur.
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.
