Saxonia Thin Copper-blue gold flux dial
A rare and attractive white gold wristwatch with aventurine dial, guarantee and presentation box
Full-Cataloguing
- At 39mm in diameter the Saxonia Thin is one of the brand's thinnest watches cased in with a profile that is merely 6.2mm thin thanks to the manual wound movement L093.1 measuring at only 2.9mm in height. However, the mainspring barrel promises 72 hours of power.
- The movement displays all the details that the brand is known for, such as the balance cock with free-hand decorative engraving, gold chatons held by blued screws and red jewels. Like all other Lange models, the Saxonia Automatic is fitted with individual calibre components that have been painstakingly decorated by hand.
- The present example not only comes with its full set of accessories but is in almost unworn condition retaining all factory stickers to the case.
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.
