With its platinum case and silver dial, the present lot is a great example of the variant of the Lange 1 commonly nicknamed “the Stealth '' for its discrete and homogenous array of colours and its fame and desirability have resulted in the release of different iterations by the German manufacturer. The present lot thus presents a great opportunity to acquire an early example of this iconic model for any horological enthusiast.
