Catalogue Note

Accompanied by an A. Lange & Söhne fitted cardboard presentation box and outer packaging.

The Lange 1 was one of the anchor models that A. Lange & Söhne produced when the company was re-launched in the 1990s after nearly a half-century of dormancy. The model was produced in two sizes, a large and a 'jumbo' size; the present lot is from this bigger series.
