Notes

The A. Lange & Söhne Ref. 404.035 Double Split Flyback Chronograph stands as a testament to the brand’s pioneering spirit and engineering brilliance. Launched as the world’s first mechanical chronograph featuring a double-rattrapante function, its in-house Calibre L001.1 enables the separate stopping of both chronograph and rattrapante hands, allowing for precise comparative and intermediate timings of events up to 30 minutes.

First released in 2004 and concluding its production in 2010, collectors have highly coveted this horological masterpiece since then.

The presented example shows itself in overall excellent condition, with only light surface scratches from regular use evident. The case’s shape maintains excellent and the hallmarks and engravings on the case back remain in original condition. This offers a fantastic opportunity for collectors to acquire this significant and collectible timepiece.
