There has been a lot of speculation...

... over the years, but I've never heard a production number from a reliable source at Lange. I don't know what to believe! 100? 600? Based upon the frequency that they arise for sale on the preowned market, I'd GUESS that more than 100 but far fewer than 600 were produced. 100 sounds a bit low, and 600 sounds way too high. It's just an educated guess, though. I say that because we know with certainty how many various limited edition Langes were produced around that same time (e.g., original 1815 Moonphases, Anniversaries, etc.), and we can see how often those watches, produced in known quantities, arise for sale in various places on the preowned market. Regardless of the exact number produced, the 101.027x is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL watch that doesn't come up for sale these days -- certainly as often as they used to. I always thought that Lange never "officially" offered this model in catalogs, and that Lange discontinued it, because it took business away from the "Stealth" (PT/rhodium dial) model. For various reasons, many people preferred the looks of the 101.027x to the PT Stealth. That was just my own speculation, though.

Lange 101.027x Info

By: ianny : December 12th, 2012-19:04

I chanced upon it on the Timezone forum. And I have a weakness for blued hands. Would be great if anyone can share additional info, such as the size and the movement etc etc. I did a search on this forum. It seems that only about 600 were ever produced. a...

100 ...

Anyway, I am confused. The Lange boutique in Singapore is looking it up for me. Regards, iAn

Interesting info. The blue hands are so beautiful. It's a pity that it is a limited production. You are a lucky man. :) Regards, iAn

FYI

this watch has no limitation and since Lange never releases any production figures its all guessing... The only "indication" is that it was an individual design... like the 101.027 it was basically the "standard" Lange 1, so diameter: 38,5; 365 parts; 53 ...

This is a beautiful model

and I am also weak in the knees for blued hands. But IMHO this model lacks one key feature of other L1 dials--no applied markers. I have thought about seeking this reference many times, but each time have held back. The "Stealth" is a much preferred look ...

That's definitely THE key feature...

... that distinguishes the 101.027x from the Stealth. That's actually why I prefer the 101.027x. On certain Lange 1 models, I gravitate towards applied markers. But on this particular model, I like the painted markers. I can't really articulate why -- jus...

Yes! stealthy and also good for precision setting

I also appreciate the painted markers on the 101.027x. Being a bit of an accuracy nut, I tend to synch my minute hand and second hands to the microns: the minute hand passes the precise center of the minute mark when the second hand reaches zero. I have f...
