SIGNED A. LANGE & SOHNE, LANGE 1 MODEL 'DARTH', REF. 151.035, CASE NO. 135'763, CIRCA 2000

Introduced in 1994, the Lange 1 is the first Lange watch of the new era and represents a culmination of what connoisseurs of fine watches associate with the legendary "A. Lange & Söhne" heritage. The patented, oversized date demonstrates how tradition and ingenuity can come together in style. This useful display, inspired by the digital clock in Dresden's Semper Opera, improves the legibility of the date by about three times in comparison with conventional displays.

Crafted in platinum with a distinctive monochromatic all black configuration and a highly attractive white on black date disc, the model was nicknamed by collectors “Darth”. The Lange 1 reference 101.035 was produced in small quantities exclusively between 1999-2006.
