A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte i/SA, "GROSSE LANGE 1", Movement No. 37146, Case No. 149530, Ref. 115.021, Cal. L901.2, 41,9 mm, circa 2003
A Glashuette wristwatch in near mint condition, with power reserve indicator, oversize date, twin barrel and 72 hours power reserve, sold in September 2003 - with original box and A. Lange & Söhne Proof of Origin
Case: 18k yellow gold, sapphire glass screwed on back, "Lange" 18k gold buckle. Dial: champagne, creamy-coloured subsidiary dials, applied gold indexes/Roman numerals, gold leaf hands.
At launch, the watch was made available in yellow and rose gold, as well as platinum. Particularly the version in yellow gold, which had champagne and off-white subdials (ref. 115.021), was a very striking piece from Lange.
When it launched in 1994, the LANGE 1 certainly broke the mould with the design of its dial. All indications are in peripheral positions, which gives the watch its distinctive appearance and at the same time ensures perfect readability, because none of the displays overlap. The design of the LANGE 1 follows a coherent principle: the centres of the subsidiary seconds dial, the main dial and the outsize-date display are at the corners of an isosceles triangle. The proportions of the outsize-date display are harmonious as well: they respect the rule of the golden ratio.
