Best, Kari

Wow, this is one unique Datograph

Looks like the Pisa but it isn't. I've read that this was made for a Lange executive. Congrats. Ian

Love it!

The best combination of DATO, as well as PISA.

Will someone PLEASE...

give me the model number of this watch!? It is a stunning Dato example! Congrats, Chuck A

I didn't know that you own this superb Dato Pisa!

I will contact you next time I visit your city to take pics of it if you don't mind! Thanks! Fx

I don't think it's a Pisa.

Pisa has got a blued second hand. watchbase.com I may be wrong, of course. Regards Ian

Always Welcome

That piece is sick! Wear it well! Tony

I would love to know more about this watch! Specifically...

... what is the reference number on the warranty card? And what more can you tell us about this watch? The "true" reference number for this watch -- a PT Dato with rhodium dial and rhodium second hand -- is 403.025. At least one was made, sold by Huber in... 

There is an article about the Dotograph versions in my blog.

And as i was writing this article i asked A. Lange & Söhne about the reference numbers of the rare versions. They told me that the single pieces made for VDO or Lange people have the same reference number like the normal Platinum version. Kind regards! Sa... 

That may be true for the blue-dial piece (made for VDO exec) but is definitely not true for the piece made for the Lange exec that looks like the watch shown in this post...

I have a copy of the extract letter that Lange sent to a subsequent owner for the blue dial piece. That extract is dated Dec. 19th 2005, and Lange confirmed in writing that its ref. no. is 403.035 -- same as the usual PT/black dial Datograph, just as you ... 

I have sent Lange two pictures...

... one of the Datograph with blue dial and one of the watch with the rhodium dial / hand and i asked them about the reference numbers. The written answer was that these two watches have the same reference numbers like the regular Datograph. Thats all i c... 

Yes, that's true in most cases but not all. The difficulty is threefold...

First, Lange used to accommodate many special requests (such as the hand color change in Luc's watch). That makes it difficult to determine whether a watch actually left the factory in its current condition, or whether Lange changed a dial, hands, etc., l... 

Arrived in Dresden

The model nr on my certificate is 403.025X and this Datograph Pisa number x/10 came with the Rhodium second hand- on special request- instead of the blued steel....... quite special indeed. And the guarantee card co-signed by Walter Lange and Orologeria P... 

Yes Please...

help provide more info on this datograph. I am still learning and researching on datograph as its definitely one of the watches that I want to own in less than 6 months. Thanks for the pixs and willingness to share. Sincerely appreciated.
