A. Lange & Söhne 2023 New Release Purchase

Key Points from the Discussion

• The watch acquired by KonaJ is a special edition for guests of the Concorso D’Eleganza events in Como, distinguished by a 'Como edition' inscription and the year on its case back. The winner's watch from the event features the same dial but with a hinged back and an engraved crest.
• Despite its steep price, the watch is considered reasonable given its complication and casing material, often comparing favorably or even being less expensive than similar offerings from other luxury brands.
• A key distinction between the white gold and platinum versions of this reference lies in the hands: the platinum version features solid metal hands without phosphor in the middle.
• The 'Gangreserve' inscription on the dial indicates a power reserve complication, a signature feature for many A. Lange & Söhne timepieces.
