The 1815 limited edition wristwatch was released in 2015 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the firm's founder, Ferdinand Adolph Lange, who was born in Dresden on February 18, 1815. The 1815 line was introduced in 1999 as a tribute to the original brand's creator, commemorating his demanding standards and precision quality movements. They have three-quarter plates, blued screws, hand-engraved balance cocks, and gold chatons on their timepiece. Lange worked hard to ensure that motions were consistently reproduced in order to achieve uniformity and better timekeeping, as well as to develop mechanical standards. A. Lange & Söhne received patent number 9349 in 1879 for a pocket watch movement that indicated how much time was left before a watch was totally unwound, which is now known as a power reserve by collectors.

The 1815 collection is noted for high-precision timepieces in a wide range of models, including the Grande Complication masterpiece, perpetual calendars, and time-only wristwatches, such as the current lot. With one common design element seen on each model: the railway-track minute scale, each model pays homage to the horological traditions Ferdinand Adolph Lange intended to achieve. The reference 236.049 is a timeless clock that epitomizes the legendary brand's original famous wristwatches.

This A. Lange 1815 Anniversary wristwatch, number 299 of 500, is in hardly worn condition and comes with the box and documentation. The caliber L051.1 with hand etched balance cock is framed by the platinum casing, which is tastefully offset by the silver dial with a powerful masculine appeal.
