A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret 118.021

A. Lange & Söhne Ref. 118.021 Cabaret Moon Phase

A well-preserved yellow gold rectangular-shaped wristwatch with date, moon phase, guarantee, and presentation box. Collectors are drawn to A. Lange & Söhne both for their historical significance and commitment to mechanical excellence and innovative designs. The brand was relaunched in 1994 by Ferdinand A. Lange’s great-grandson, Walter Lange, and his commitment to technical precision timekeeping is a hallmark of the brand that continues today. Entry level timepieces display the same high-end finish seen on more expensive watches, with three quarter plate movements featuring a hand-engraved balance cock, gold chatons with blued screws, and hand bevelling. Their distinctive Cabaret model was introduced three years after their rebirth in 1997 and was housed in an architectural rectangular case. The line was discontinued in 2013. Released in 2004 in yellow gold (118.021) like the present watch and in pink gold (118.032) these Cabaret models included a moon phase with the big date apertures. The dial layout is in perfect harmony with the rectangular case making it an easily readable and wearable wristwatch. Purchased from an A. Lange & Söhne Boutique in 2024, it is believed to have remained “new old stock” for nearly 20 years before its sale. The present watch is fresh to the market and offered by the original owner. The watch is in near new condition and is complete with its full suite of accessories.
