Notes

Purchased new by the current owner in 2006, this Lange 1 in platinum has the extremely rare and fine integrated platinum Wellendorf bracelet adding a whole new dimension and appearance to the classic Lange 1. Preserved in excellent overall condition showing deep hallmarks, these models were made in extremely limited numbers and it is the first time we have offered a full platinum version at auction. "According to correspondence with Lange & Sohne, less than 50 examples were made of reference 151.025."
