Catalogue Note
The 'Lange 1' model was one of four pieces launched in 1994 as part of A. Lange & Söhne's re-launch in the early 90s. Since then, the model has remained a staple within the brand. The silvered matte dial features two large apertures to display the date and a fan-form sector for the power reserve indication. The present example is accompanied by its presentation box, guarantee and instruction manual - further enhancing the watch's collectability.
