A. Lange & Söhne Ref. 101.021 Full Set – 2001

A German icon in its purest form. This is not just a watch, it is a statement of design, engineering, and provenance. This Lange 1, reference 101.021, features an elegant 38.5 mm yellow gold case paired with the signature off-center dial layout in silver. It houses the hand-finished Lange caliber L901.0, visible through the sapphire caseback, complete with the iconic three-quarter plate, gold chatons, and hand-engraved balance cock. Sold new in 2001 at Wempe for 33,200 Euro, this example comes as a complete full set with box, papers, and original receipt. It has remained with its first and only owner since purchase. The watch is in beautiful condition, well cared for and believed to be unpolished, retaining its original sharp lines and finish. The Lange 1 was first introduced in 1994 and quickly became the flagship of the modern A. Lange & Söhne revival. This early yellow gold reference captures the quiet confidence and meticulous attention to detail that defines the brand. A complete, one-owner set like this, especially in such honest condition, is increasingly difficult to find. For the collector who appreciates German watchmaking at its finest, this Lange 1 offers both heritage and lasting value.
