Introduced in 1995, just a year after its re-birth, the 1815 collection by A. Lange & Söhne was specifically designed to prioritize the legibility of a wristwatch. Released in 2006, the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 "Cuvette" was the first watch from the brand to have a hinged case back and a limited edition series to celebrate the 100th anniversary of German retailer Erding-Ordel.

Unlike previous 1815 models that had a 36mm diameter case, the 1815 "Cuvette" boasts an unusual yet modern 40mm case. Another notable feature is the incredible calibre L921.2, which is equipped with the brand's iconic SAX-O-MAT off-centred platinum and 21K gold micro rotor. This movement also showcases a subtle yet sophisticated zero-reset mechanism, allowing for precise time setting when the crown is pulled out. It is truly a testament to German watchmaking craftsmanship.

This special edition was produced in two versions: 18K pink gold and white gold (please see previous lot), with each variant limited to only 38 pieces. This current lot in elegant pink gold is numbered 1 which is the first example that came out from the factory. Being offered in "like new" overall condition, this iconic and highly collectible timepiece presents a rare opportunity for Lange connoisseurs to acquire the number 1 set of the most special pieces available in the market.
