Reasons to Bid
The Lange 1 is the quintessential expression of A. Lange & Söhne’s modern revival, embodying the brand’s philosophy of technical excellence, understated elegance, and clean dial design. First introduced in the 1990s, this modern reference 191.032 in 18k rose gold combines classical Lange craftsmanship with innovative movement design, becoming one of the most iconic dress watches of contemporary horology. The 38.5 mm rose gold case features a recognizable profile with alternating finishing throughout the case. Its asymmetrical dial layout includes the large off-center main time display, a prominent big date aperture at 1 o’clock, a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, and small seconds at 5 o’clock, creating a harmonious balance that has become a defining feature of the Lange 1 line. This Lange 1 is powered by the legendary Caliber L901.0, a manually wound movement with a 42-hour power reserve, precision-adjusted balance, and exceptional finishing. The movement, visible through a sapphire caseback, reveals German silver plates, hand-engraved balance cock, gold chatons, and polished screw heads, a perfect poster piece for A. Lange & Söhne’s haute horlogerie.
