In 1997, Lange released a downsized version of the Lange 1 with the introduction of the Little Lange 1 in a reduced case size of 36.8mm. Throughout the years, the Little Lange 1 continued to flourish with various case metals and dial materials. In 2009, Lange celebrated the 15th anniversary of the brand’s reintroduction by debuting a new collection – the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase.
2021 saw the introduction of two Little Lange 1 models fitted with aventurine (or “gold flux”) dials – one with plain bezel and one with round brilliant diamond-set bezel like the present model. The watch is fitted with a solid silver dial coated with a thin layer of aventurine glass filled with microscopic copper oxide crystals. This unique coating creates mesmerizing visual depth and a subtle shimmer. Continuing the celestial theme, the hour markers are crafted as tiny white gold stars, while the moon phase disc features an applied white gold moon, adding an extra touch of glamour. The date wheel is color-matched as a further subtle touch.
The present reference 182.886 is fresh-to-the-market, consigned by the original owner and highlighted by the stunning aventurine dial as well as the luxurious diamond-set bezel. The watch is in virtually new condition and is accompanied by its full suite of accessories.
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.
