On occasion of the company’s 165th anniversary in 2010, A. Lange & Söhne commemorated the spiritual legacy of company founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange with a trilogy of timepieces with exceptional complications and named it "165 Years - Homage to F. A. Lange". The individual limited models were available independently and only 21 sets consisting of the three timepieces "1815 MONDPHASE", "TOURBOGRAPH 'Pour le Mérite'" and "LANGE 1 TOURBILLON" were available in total -one of them was presented during our autumn auction in November 2019. All timepieces of this special edition come in 18K honey gold; this new type of gold alloy is significantly harder than any other gold alloys and was developed exclusively for A. Lange & Söhne.
