Passions Watch Exchange

About This Watch

Pre-owned. 1 owner's watch from new, complete with orig. boxes, manual & dated paper.

A neo-classic from the late 1990s and produced for only ten years between 1997 to 2007. Sold new by Sincere Watch in Singapore and the cert is undated.

This is a very rare and possibly piece unique 18ct White gold Langematik Big date to have ever surfaced. During the sale, the owner requested directly from the factory for this pink gold markers on silvered dial for his white gold watch. This dial was meant only for the pink gold case as the white gold came with black dial and rhodiumed markers. This is not a service dial but one factory fitted from new and delivered to the owner and the lume on the hands has taken a lovely patina.

On top of that, the watch was sold together with the most desirable deployant buckle, this is another premium option worth several thousands over the standard ardillon buckle. This was the first automatic modern day lange watch and has the iconic big-date feature. A practical daily watch and a collector's item.

In March 2022, this watch was returned to Lange service centre where it received a full service and thus it is sold with 2yrs international factory warranty till March 2024. This is a very desirable option as 90% of pre-owned Lange watches in the market do not receive such service and it costs several thousands to service a Lange watch by the agent. Watch is presented in mint condition now and ready for a new home. This watch may very well hit a record in auctions later as factory bespoke watches in high-end horology are always most desirable. A lightly used honey-brown alligator strap is fitted to match the pink gold accents on the dial.

"Caliber L921.2 or better known as Sax-0-Mat is a result of the 5 years work and the genius of the now retired movement designer Helmut Geyer. Even today; the caliber L921 is the automatic movement to have from A. Lange & Söhne." Langepedia

The zero-reset mechanism sends the seconds hand to the zero position for setting the exact time, and the rectangular push button on the case band at 10'clock advances the date.

Check out the gorgeous movement with that micro-rotor winding mechanism.

Serviced by Lange with a letter giving 2yrs warranty till March 2024 so this watch received proper attention.
