This article delves into why this specific reference holds such a coveted spot in a seasoned collector's wish list.

I have to confess it, it is one of my few watches obsession. To me, one of the most appealing an interesting watches from these last 14 years. Period.

The dial is sublime,

The backside even more:

In an ideal world, I would have preferred:

- A platinum case, as as always favor platinum over white gold.

- A black enamel dial, which would have been totally irresistible!

But even as it is, this is a watch which makes me dream. Uber high on my wish list.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The 1-second remontoire driving the jumping seconds hand is a highly appreciated technical feature, showcasing Lange's horological prowess.
While exceptional in its current form, a black enamel dial would elevate the watch's visual impact, making it truly 'pop' and fulfilling a perceived missed opportunity.
Despite potential ideal configurations, the watch remains highly readable and visually appealing as presented in white gold.

I agree completely. I finally saw one in person at a boutique this year

Stunning in every regard.

I have seen it a few times over the years. My only complaint - the dial looks a bit flat.

If they made it black enamel so it really pops it would be an incredible watch. It is quite exceptional as it is, just a bit of a missed opportunity imho.

I tend to agree. In enamel, it would have been a killer.
