Catalogue Essay
Introduced in 1995, just a year after its re-birth, the 1815 collection by A. Lange & Söhne was specifically designed to prioritize the legibility of a wristwatch. Released in 2006, the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 "Cuvette" was the first watch from the brand to have a hinged case back and a limited edition series to celebrate the 100th anniversary of German retailer Erding-Ordel.
Unlike previous 1815 models that had a 36mm diameter case, the 1815 "Cuvette" boasts an unusual yet modern 40mm case. Another notable feature is the incredible calibre L921.2, which is equipped with the brand's iconic SAX-O-MAT off-centred platinum and 21K gold micro rotor. This movement also showcases a subtle yet sophisticated zero-reset mechanism, allowing for precise time setting when the crown is pulled out. It is truly a testament to German watchmaking craftsmanship.
This special edition was produced in two versions: 18K pink gold and white gold (please see previous lot), with each variant limited to only 38 pieces. This current lot in elegant pink gold is numbered 1 which is the first example that came out from the factory. Being offered in "like new" overall condition, this iconic and highly collectible timepiece presents a rare opportunity for Lange connoisseurs to acquire the number 1 set of the most special pieces available in the market.

Artist Biography
A. Lange & Söhne
German
• 1845
Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
