Lot Essay
The A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret is a bold example of the company's spirit of innovation and high-quality watchmaking. The Cabaret, which came out in 1997, just a few years after the brand was revived in 1994, was a bold departure from the traditional round case by adopting a unique rectangular shape. It is further characterised by the prominent display of Lange’s signature outsize date, inspired by the historic clock of Dresden’s Semper Opera House.
The Cabaret was made in a variety of precious metals and dial designs, but it was originally meant to be a time-only model. The present model, reference 107.027, was presented in 1998 and is inspired by the elegant Roman numerals of the Lange 1 and the diamond-shaped indexes of early Saxonia models.
What distinguishes the present timepiece is its silvered dial. Reference 107.027 was typically offered with a blue dial, making this configuration particularly unusual. The watch is confirmed by A. Lange & Söhne to have left the manufacture with this silvered dial, further enhancing its rarity and appeal.
The watch is powered by the manually wound calibre L.931.3, operating at a frequency of 3 Hz and offering a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The movement exemplifies the manufacture’s commitment to technical precision and refined finishing.
