Since the firm’s revival in last decade of the last century, A. Lange & Söhne has produced some of the finest timepieces of modern-day horology, propelling the brand to new heights. With an emphasis in conserving traditional Saxon watchmaking, the Glashütte -based manufacturer have garnered a global group collectors devoted to their dedication in creating timepieces meticulously engineered to the highest degree.

In 2013, the firm released the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar, and this model was one of their most coveted and complicated timepieces. Built in the signature A. Lange & Söhne fashion, this watch is powered by a hand-wound movement cal. L101.1, comprised of 631 individual parts with hand-finished and hand-engraved bridges and plates.

Beautiful both inside and out, the mechanical marvel at hand features a warm white dial encased in pink gold. The 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar embodies all the desired traits of the 1815 collection, including the rail-way minute track, Arabic numerals, the distinct three-dots over each quarter index and its layered dial configuration. The chronograph and running seconds indications are fitted to the 12 and 6 o’clock positions whereas the calendar indications are placed at 3 and 9 o’clock, respectively. Topped with a subtle dash of rouge, the dial is brought to life from the cool and muted monochrome background. Likewise, it is an absolute joy to admire this watch from every angle thanks to its stepped layout that adds depth to the dial by creating a beautiful illusion of visual dissonance.

A true sight to behold, the present pink gold A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar is offered in excellent overall condition complete with its original accessories.
