The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1, with its off-center time and seconds display, asymmetrically positioned large date window, and power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, stands as one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable models from the brand. First introduced in 1994 as part of the brand’s revival under Walter Lange, the Lange 1 has since become a cornerstone of A. Lange & Söhne’s legacy and a flagship model for the Glashütte-based manufacture.

In 1997, A. Lange & Söhne introduced the Little Lange 1, a refined downsized version of the original, featuring a 36.1mm case. Over the years, the Little Lange 1 has evolved with a variety of case metals and dial materials, often paired with diamond-set bezels. Among its most notable designs are guilloché dials, such as the present example, which have added to its enduring appeal.

Released in 2014 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Lange 1, the present Little Lange 1 was part of a limited edition of just 20 pieces. Originally offered as a pair alongside a larger Lange 1, this example, numbered 17, features a striking silver guilloché dial framed by a diamond-set bezel, evoking the elegance of a sparkly sun.

Presented as part of a set with the previous lot, the Lange 1, the timepiece was accompanied also by a special numbered box, offered without reserve, for a collector seeking to reunite the pair.

Preserved in excellent, like-new condition, the present Little Lange 1 embodies the understated elegance and meticulous craftsmanship that define A. Lange & Söhne, making it a true testament to the brand’s enduring legacy.
