A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte i/SA, "RICHARD LANGE REFERENZUHR - Limited Edition No. 24/50", Movement No. 81272, Case No. 191197, Ref. 250.025, Lange manually wound manufacture calibre L033.1, 40,5 mm, circa 2010
A gentleman's extremely rare, as new Glashuette wristwatch with seconds stop, ZERO-RESTART device and 38h power reserve indicator - limited platinum edition no. 24 of 50 pieces - with original box, Lange booklet, original certificate and operating instructions
Case: platinum, screwed on glazed back, edition serial numbers on the caseback, "Lange" platinum buckle. Dial: solid silver. Movm.: 3/4 plate movement, German silver, 34 jewels, Glucydur balance, balance spring produced in-house, hand-engraved balance cock.
The RICHARD LANGE embodies the tradition of A. Lange & Söhne’s scientific observation watches from the 19th and 20th centuries. All facets of this timepiece are dictated by two goals: superior precision and the utmost in legibility. True to the tradition of scientific observation watches, the dial is endowed with slender Roman numerals and an often overlooked peculiarity: the “4” is rendered as “IIII” instead of “IV”. This choice was made in the interest of numeric symmetry: the elements I, V and X occur exactly four times in succession.
