Few modern complicated wristwatches capture the uncompromising spirit of A. Lange & Söhne quite like the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon. Building upon the legendary Datograph introduced in 1999, the model brings together a flyback chronograph, perpetual calendar and one-minute tourbillon within one remarkably cohesive design.
Introduced in 2019 and limited to just 100 pieces, reference 740.056FE is particularly striking for its combination of an 18k white gold case and a solid 18k pink gold dial. The warm, salmon-toned surface provides a superb contrast against the cool white gold case, while retaining the unmistakable Datograph architecture: the signature outsize date at 12 o'clock, twin subsidiary registers and moon phase display at 6 o'clock.
The true mechanical spectacle is deliberately reserved for its owner. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the manually-wound calibre L952.2 comprises an extraordinary 729 components and incorporates a one-minute tourbillon with Lange's patented stop-seconds mechanism alongside the flyback chronograph and perpetual calendar. This discreet approach to one of watchmaking's most celebrated complications perfectly captures Lange's philosophy of technical virtuosity without ostentation.
Numbered 82 of the limited edition of 100 pieces, the present example is further distinguished by its exceptional provenance, coming directly from the original owner. Preserved in like-new overall condition and accompanied by its A. Lange & Söhne papers dated 2025, it represents a particularly compelling opportunity to acquire one of the manufacture's most technically accomplished and visually arresting modern creations.
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.
