An important, extremely rare Glashuette wristwatch in near mint condition, with visible one-minute tourbillon, split seconds chronograph and perpetual calendar with leap year indicator and moon phase - produced in a special series limited to only 50 pieces in platinum - with original box, operating instructions, Lange-booklet, Lange-guarantee seal dated November 20, 2017, setting pin, loupe and cleaning cloth

This is the fifth timepiece created by A. Lange & Söhne that bears the affix "Pour le Mérite"; the watch was introduced in 2017. The TOURBOGRAPH PERPETUAL "Pour le Mérite" is the first minute tourbillon in a wristwatch with a chain/fusee movement with perpetual calendar and additional rattrapante chronograph function. The combination of these amazing complications makes this watch – the series is limited to 50 pieces – a truly unique timepiece. The meticulous finishing of every single one of the 684 components of calibre L133.1 (one of them the chain) was carried out entirely precisely by hand and reflects the quality standard of the brand.
