The Lange 1 Tourbillon is an emblematic example of the supreme level of quality and finish synonymous with the brand name A. Lange & Söhne. After the revival of the firm in 1990, A. Lange & Söhne launched their iconic Lange 1 model in 1994, featuring an unusual asymmetric dial design with a distinctive large date positioned at the 1 o’clock, and a power reserve indication in retrograde style from 2 to 4 o’clock. In 2000, A. Lange & Söhne released a series of Lange 1 models featuring various complications, including the present Lange 1 Tourbillon. It was released as a limited edition in precious metals, with 250 pieces in 18K pink gold and 150 pieces in platinum. The model was in production for 3 years before its discontinuance in 2003.

Encased in a classic and highly wearable 38.5mm traditional round case, the tourbillon escapement composed of 72 individual parts is flawlessly positioned at the 5 o’clock of the dial, perfecting the enchantment of the asymmetric Lange 1 dial design. The sapphire caseback further showcases the manufacture’s signature ¾ plate composed of German silver and its hand-engraved balance cock, consisting of the brand’s signature flower petals motif.

Beautifully preserved, the present example in 18K pink gold numbered 210 is presented in excellent overall condition. Complete with its original guarantee and presentation box, the present Lange 1 Tourbillon from circa 2003 is a splendid addition to the collection of any serious collector.
