1815 MODEL, REF. 206.025, CASE NO. 127'650, CIRCA 2000

Introduced as a tribute to the birth year of Ferdinand A. Lange, the 1815 collection draws its aesthetic inspiration from the historic pocket watches that established the reputation of Glashütte watchmaking. Its restrained dial architecture recalls these traditional precision timepieces through characteristic details including Arabic numerals, a railway minute track and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock. Beneath the dial, the hand-wound movement continues this historical lineage with the signature three-quarter plate that has become one of A. Lange & Söhne’s defining hallmarks.

The present reference 206.025 is rendered particularly remarkable by its striking blue dial. The model was ordinarily fitted with a silvered dial, making the present configuration an exceptionally unusual departure from the standard production. Importantly, A. Lange & Söhne has confirmed that the watch is recorded in the manufacture’s archives with this blue dial and a sale date of May 2000, establishing it as an exceptionally rare and intriguing variation of the early 1815.
