Langematik Anniversary Jubilee (ref. no. 302.025) Census...

 

Hi All,

The Langematik Anniversary (PT, enamel dial) was produced around 2001 and was limited to 500 pieces. I always suspected that only about 250 (and not all 500) were sold to the public, based upon how (in)frequently they appear on the preowned market and how (in)frequently I remember seeing them back when they were first offered for sale in 2001. I think relatively few were sold with numbers in the 250-450 range. Of course, I could be wrong -- maybe there really are 500 Anniversaries floating around out there. Anyway, several of us have been compiling a census. If you know of a number (xxx/500) that definitely exists but is not on the list below, can you kindly add it? Thanks!

2,28*,35,61,62,68,86,97,107,125,152,164,185*,195,212,219,279,310,408,454,455,472,483,485,494

* #28/500 and #185/500 are STOLEN.

It looks like 500 pieces were made. Thanks for doing this CR, I always wondered myself. I would love to own this watch one day. Tony

Thank you! I received several others. Here is the current list...

#28 was stolen this year, in late April/early May of 2015. It was stolen either in Japan or in California, USA, when enroute from one Forum member to another. #185 was stolen from Nico ("amanico"). For a list of other stolen Lange watches, or to add yours... 

Thanks! Here is updated list...
