11848 Lange 1 Rose Gold 101.032 c. 2010 Extract from the Archives A very good example of the rose gold Lange 1. Uniquely, rose gold Lange cases from this era were polished rather than brushed, as the brand believed brushing would make it likelier for the case sides to discolour. This example coms with the extract from the archives.\n\nA strong case could be made that the Lange 1 is one of the most iconic watches to have emerged in the last few decades. \n\nThe defining feature of the Lange 1 is the asymmetrical 'big date' windows. This display emulates one of the world's first digital time displays, from a clock at the Semper Opera House in Dresden. A decidedly bold look, the 'outsize date' sits off centre from the dial but retains a strong sense of place due to the use of the golden ratio in the overall design.\n\nThe Lange 1 sits in a rather interesting position. While novel and unique, its big date windows are do not exactly fall into 'complication' territory. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the Lange 1 is far more than a simple time-only dress watch, and certainly deserves the adoration it has received from collectors. A.
