This one-owner 1815 Annual Calendar ref. 238.032 was purchased new by the vendor from the A Lange & Sohne boutique in London.

The vendor advises the watch is in good working order and has graded it ‘A’ for condition. The images appear to be consistent with their assessment, with only light hairline scratches visible on the case.

This watch is being managed by Watch Collecting for the duration of the auction and is being held in a secure third-party facility. Watch Collecting will release the watch to the successful bidder after the vendor confirms they have received payment.

Released in 2017 from Germany’s premier watchmaker, this classically-styled 1815 Annual Calendar is finished in rose gold and sized for contemporary tastes at 40mm. The dial is made from sterling silver and galvanised to create a silver-white appearance. The annual calendar, moonphase and constant seconds are displayed in sub-registers which are cut and recessed, along with the centre section. In keeping with the model line’s traditional aesthetic, a railroad-style minutes track runs around the perimeter and is complemented by large Arabic numerals in addition to heat-blued hands for the hours and minutes. The watch is paired with a brown alligator strap and a signed rose gold pin buckle. On the underside of the case, a sapphire crystal back displays the expertly finished movement for which A. Lange & Söhne is widely recognised amongst collectors and enthusiasts. The manual wind calibre L051 is elaborately decorated with detailed free-hand engraving on the balance cock and mirror bevelling and Glashütte stripes on the bridges.

A. Lange & Söhne’s 1815 collection pays tribute to the company’s founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s and is characterised by classically-styled cases with contemporary elements.
