A. Lange & Söhne is a German watchmaker founded in 1845. They are known for their ultra-high-grade and handcrafted timepieces with relatively low production numbers compared to many Swiss manufacturers. The collecting community is just beginning to appreciate the level of craftsmanship the brand has brought to the table with their own unique design language and we believe their neo-vintage models are especially attractive today.

On offer is a rare large sized Grand Arkade which had a short production from from '02 to '05. This model features a silvered dial with gilt lozenge hour markers, Roman numerals, gilt edge date aperture at 12 o-clock, subsidiary dial at 6 for constant seconds and dagger hands. The case is a polished/arched rectangular shape with exhibition back and quick set button at 2 o-clock. This piece remains in fantastic pre-owned condition with a mint dial and very well-preserved case retaining deep and crisp hallmarks. It also retains its correct 18k pin buckle. For anyone looking for a strikingly beautiful and off the beaten path dress watch, the Grande Arkade hits all the right notes.
