The present lot reflects A. Lange & Söhne's exceptional combination of horological mastery and harmonious and minimalist design. Featuring an outstanding complication, a jumping sweep-seconds hand with a start and stop function, the watch stands as a homage to A. Lange & Söhne's heritage and to Walter Lange who became pivotal for the relaunching of the iconic brand after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Indeed, both the reference and caliber numbers make reference to the birth date of Walter Lange.
Based on Walter Lange's great-grandfather's 1867 invention, the watch is one of 90 to be encased in 18k pink gold and would add to any collection, providing a sophisticated touch paired with enthusiasm for high-end horology.
