As with many German-made mechanical goods, the one constant is methodical and deliberate craftsmanship, precision engineering, and immaculate design. In the world of luxury watches, where Switzerland is flooding the market with the many luxury brands that make up this segment, A. Lange & Söhne is a German watchmaker that holds its own.

While this Glashütte-based manufacturer originally solely made pocket watches until World War II, it took close to a half-a-century hiatus before eventually re-entering the market with the Lange 1, their first wristwatch, in 1994. Since their glorious comeback, they have produced many exceptional watches which are not only mechanically virtuous but also breath-taking on the wrist.

This stunning wristwatch features the distinct outsized double date apertures just below 12 o'clock, a sub-dial for the day of the week at the 9 o'clock position, a month sub-dial at the 3 o'clock position, and last but not least, a moon phase just above 6 o'clock. The marvel of the Saxonia Annual Calendar is that it's hard to decide which side of the case looks more beautiful. In fact, you can see most of the 476 flawlessly polished components of the caliber L085.1 through the sapphire crystal on the back of the watch. For a slender case, only 9.8mm thick, packing that much movement into a 38.5 mm case is rather impressive. This is one among many reasons why a collector would opt for a German luxury watch of its Swiss counterpart.

Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, this is the perfect opportunity to secure the present pink gold Saxonia Annual Calendar, a mechanical marvel that will stand the test of time.
