The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 model - named after the birth year of the company founder - was one of the original four models introduced in 1994 when the company was re-launched after its multi-decade hiatus. It immediately captivated the hearts of collectors thanks to its elegant and distinct, yet also robust and stately, look. It is now considered one of the pinnacles of Lange design.

For the 21 years that interloped between that fateful day in 1994 and F. A. Lange's birth 200th anniversary in 2015, collector ceaselessly demanded a 1815 with black dial. Their wish was eventually granted with the present limited edition. Created to celebrate indeed the bicentennial of F.A. Lange, the anniversary model was produced in 200 examples in platinum with black dial. Arguably the most elegant iterations of the landmark model, it certainly is one of the most sought-after and collectible.

The present example is offered in absolutely unspoiled condition, complete with its box, guarantee and celebratory crystal stand. The laser-etching inside the stand represents the clock of Dresden Semper Opera House, an A.F. Lange creation whose digital display inspired one of the most recognizable Lange design traits: the oversize digital calendar windows.
