In 2013 SIHH A. Lange & Söhne introduced their first ever watch that encompassed both the double-split chronograph and the perpetual calendar, all within a single watch. This watch was the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar. The movement of this watch is very complex as it not only contains two individual column wheels that can be used to activate both the chronograph and the split-second hand; it has also limited it’s thickness of the case to 14.7mm which is slightly thinner than the Patek Philippe’s reference 5204.

The watch is offered in excellent overall condition.
