This model was introduced in 2018 as a limited edition of only 200 pieces and received with great excitement by collectors. Not only is the Datograph one of the most appreciated models by A. Lange & Söhne, but even more so this 'Lumen' version is easily the most impressive iteration to this date.
Its dial is made of polished German silver and incorporates segments in semi-transparent sapphire crystal that lets the wearer appreciate the mainplate with its perlage finish. However, the real excitement of this watch stems from its luminous treatment which enables all functions of the watch to be used in the dark. Namely not only the hands for hours and minutes, but also the chronograph hand, the power-reserve hand, the hour markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, the subsidiary dials and the tachymeter scale are entirely luminous as well, giving the dial an impressive and dramatic look in the dark.
Upon its release the series was pretty much sold out immediately and has been a sought-after reference ever since. The present lot provides therefore an exciting opportunity for collectors to get ahold of one of these rare pieces and the watch is further accompanied by its original accessories including certificate and presentation case.
