What you’re looking at is an example of the most important wristwatches of the last 30 years.
The Lange 1 is without question the manufacturer’s flagship model, and the Outsize Date function is its hallmark. Though found in watches such as the Zeitwerk or the Langematik Sax-O-Mat, it’s in the Lange 1 that it’s shown to the greatest effect. Alongside other details such as asymmetrical sub-dials depicting the hours and sub-seconds, and the

signature with its famous ampersand, it shows a clarity of vision that is wholly Lange. And while the Lange 1 has seen many versions, from a tourbillon to the Timezone, it’s the original that has become the symbol of the maison — and perhaps even the symbol of modern watchmaking itself.
This particular example dates to the first decade of 2000s, and is housed in a 38.5mm 18K yellow gold case with a sapphire crystal and display back, features a polished bezel; a satin silver dial with subsidiary hours and minutes at 9 o’clock; a seconds register at 4 o’clock; a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock; a framed date window at 2 o’clock; applied gold indices; and a matching handset. In outstanding condition throughout showing only faint wear throughout, it’s fitted to a brown alligator leather strap with a signed 18K yellow gold pin buckle.
Powering this masterpiece is the Lange & Söhne Calibre L901.0, a manual-winding movement that’s stunning to behold — and which can easily be viewed via the exhibition case back. This watch also comes with its inner box set, books, and papers dated 2010.
If you can spend your hard-earned money on either art or watches, why not spend it on both?
