Yeap, this question was asked online.
Tony Haas of product development stated; "Due to the special characteristics of the honey colored gold it is unfortunately not possible to produce a deployant buckle..."
How unfortunate. Fortunately; the models that are currently available in honey gold probably aren't watches that I would wear every day. So the loss isn't substantial.
I really love that 1815 Moonphase in honey gold with its guilloche dial and its rather unusually decorated movement. If I got one, I'd wear it often; but I'd have to live without a deployant.

Availability of honey colored gold deployants
After a previous post requesting opinions as to which currently available Lange deployant was closest in color to the new honey colored gold, I e-mailed Lange to ask if they were going to make clasps in this metal available. I received the following answe...

I concur
I also love the new 1815 Moonphase, Patrick, to the point that I have put a deposit down on one, but I can live with putting a PG deployant on the watch, as I alway wear deployants on my watches. When you actually think about it, who's really going to not...
From what I've heard from someone who has seen the watch...
The watch has more of a yellow/white gold sheen to it, although some of the photographs depict it as having more of a pink gold sheen to it. Therefore, it may be more prudent to utilize a different color gold deployant buckle.
I saw the new "honey gold" watches ...
and believe me, a PG deployant won´t look good, at least for my taste. WG and PT is not perfect, but OK. Honey gold and RG, doesn´t work :-(
Thanks for the information.
Thank you for your observations. Last question. If one had to choose between either of the two colors (YG/PG), while both are obviously different from the honey gold, which of the two is the closer in color?
I do.
Ever since I accidently dropped a WG Chono onto a tile floor when it slipped out of my hand while unbuckling it, I've used deployants on all of my watches. I currently have one on my platinum 1815 moonphase. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially i...
The answer from Lange
Out of curiousity I e-mailed Lange to get their opinion on which of their clasps would work best. Their answer was, that while it was a matter of personal taste, their deveopment team felt that the PG clasp would work best with the HG watches, followed by...
