A unique Glashuette wristwatch in near mint condition, with visible one-minute tourbillon regulator, regulator dial, Lange oversize date and power reserve indicator - produced in a special series limited to only 250 pieces in 18k pink gold.

Case: 18k pink gold, sapphire glass screw on back, "Lange" 18k pink gold buckle. Dial: black, window for tourbillon cage, large double window for date.
The black main dial sets the perfect stage for the hour markers and hands in pink gold. It was built as a custom-made watch and was never sold in this form. The subsidiary dial for the seconds is slightly recessed into the main dial. The contour of the aperture for the tourbillon has meticulously polished chamfers. The numerals of the Lange outsize-date display are black on a white background.
Because of its impressive technical features and its esthetical appeal this LANGE 1 TOURBILLON chronometer is the most prestigious of all wristwatches produced by A. Lange & Söhne, representing the culmination of over 150 years experience in the production of high quality precision timepieces. In 2000, the LANGE 1-TOURBILLON was launched as a limited edition "Centennial Tourbillon" with 150 platinum and 250 pink gold timepieces, each individually numbered.
The tourbillon cage weights less than half a gram and measures just 12.3 mm in diameter, comprising itself 76 components.
