The present A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1, reference 101.035, dating to 2006, is a superb and highly collectible example of one of the manufacture’s most iconic and enduring models. Executed in platinum with a black dial, this Lange 1 embodies the quintessential aesthetic that has defined A. Lange & Söhne’s modern era since the model’s reintroduction in the 1990s. The platinum case measures approximately 38.5 mm in diameter, offering a harmonious and balanced wrist presence. The watch has been lightly polished in the past and is presented in excellent overall condition, showing only minimal signs of wear. This example features a beautiful black dial with the iconic outsize date (grande date) at 2 o’clock, a signature of the Lange 1 family. The large date display is achieved through a proprietary double-disc mechanism, allowing for excellent legibility and a distinctive aesthetic. The watch is powered by the in-house manual-winding calibre L901.0, visible through the sapphire case back, and is equipped with a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. This movement is renowned for its intricate finishing and the classic three-quarter plate architecture that is a hallmark of Lange’s Glashütte tradition. The watch is fitted with a brown alligator Lange strap in approximately 70% condition, paired with a matching platinum ardillon buckle. While no service history is provided, the watch is in excellent working order. Combining the understated elegance of platinum, the iconic outsize date, and strong provenance, this Lange 1 reference 101.035 represents a compelling opportunity to acquire one of A. Lange & Söhne’s most enduring modern classics, combining mechanical sophistication with timeless design.
