LANGE 1 'WELLENDORFF' MODEL, REF. 151.027, CASE NO. 116'648, CIRCA 1997

Inspired by the golden ratio, the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1's unique asymmetric dial layout, which embodies perfect visual balance and architectural harmony, has made it iconic among collectors worldwide since its release in 1994. In addition to being a technological innovation, the oversized outsize date, which is instantly identifiable as a Lange trademark, is also incredibly useful in daily life.

The present example features the classic and original 38.5 mm case, a size particularly cherished by Lange 1 connoisseurs. First released in 1997, the white gold Lange 1 with a blue dial (reference 101.027) is particularly significant as it was the first Lange 1 with a blue dial and the first to be made of white gold. When this configuration was first introduced, there were four different versions with different reference numbers: 101.007, 101.027, 151.007, and 151.027, such as the present timepiece.

This reference stood out due to its factory-fitted integrated bracelet, which was made by the well-known German jeweler Wellendorff, who had been a partner of A. Lange & Söhne since the company's founding. The bracelet elevates the Lange 1 to a level of extraordinary rarity and gives it a completely new visual identity. The present timepiece offers a fantastic chance to obtain a highly sought-after and exclusive Lange 1, making it an especially alluring addition for the avid collector.
