Sotheby's Is Putting Some Of A. Lange & Söhne’s Rarest New Creations On The Auction Block
Sotheby's is set to auction some of A. Lange & Söhne's rarest modern creations, including several limited editions making their first appearance at auction. Among these standout pieces is the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon 'Lumen' in Honeygold, celebrated for its exceptional features and a staggering price of $620,000. Other notable items include the 1815 Thin Honeygold, the 1815 Rattrapante, and the complex Tourbograph Perpetual 'Pour le Mérite,' showcasing the brand's craftsmanship and innovation. The auction also features the Odysseus in full titanium, marking a bold leap for the brand into the sports watch segment, as well as a unique off-catalogue set of the Lange 1 and Little Lange 1 with onyx dials. The upcoming auction is seen as a critical moment for A. Lange & Söhne's performance in the secondary market, especially given that many of these models have only recently been acquired. The interest surrounding these high-end pieces raises questions about the motivations of sellers parting with their prized watches so soon after purchase.
