Another LE Lange 1
This is the "Cellini" in platinum. It has a snow white dial. 25 were made in 2002 to celebrate the NYC store's 25th Anniversary.
Well, your bases are pretty well covered, my friend. Unless you find a Lange 1 Stealth. ;) [nt]

Too many Langes. Too little dinero.
I'm on a "diet" right now. :0
But I have something nice to show you on Monday!

I have seen that one in person before at Cellini............
It is the precursor to the white gold night owl which I like as well.

Same here -- I recall seeing it at Cellini just a few years ago. [nt]

Thanks Padj for the pic...
and it is also quite rare to see Lange watches on bracelet. I have the feeling that I see less and less Lange watches with bracelet while let's say 10 years ago it was more frequent.

Bracelets!
I agree. I have ten Langes and I had to source a single bracelet separately. Even then it was a multi year quest. I very much wish Lange would bring them back. I have a single GO, and love it because it came with a bracelet originally.
Lange stopped making the bracelets a few years back.
This may be one of the last available. And it costs as much as the watch.
True. I heard they were not popular.
However, with supply and demand, the demand is higher now that they stop producing them and less are around. I've always loved the Langematik on wave bracelet.
I never saw that.
I do remember seeing a Lange 1, besides this, on a bracelet. Also a Perpetual. I'm neutral on the look.
Nice dial and unique watch, but
I am not a great fan of a Lange ON BRACELET. It is like a Daytona or a Sub on a leather strap..
Somehow it doesn't fit with the watch.
And, at least as far as I know, you can't mount a leather strap to a Lange which comes original with bracelet!

I don' know about that.
This watch originally came on a strap. It's the last LE the dealer had, and he had one last platinum bracelet so he put them together. He would sell the watch on the bracelet or on a strap-your choice.
Apparently the buyer chose "strap," as the watch is gone but bracelet remains available. [nt]

A few old Langes did have integrated bracelets, but most Lange bracelets were removable. [nt]

Didn't get it...
It should mean the store was opened in 1977, bur the company/name was restored in 1990...

Cellini Fine Jewelers has been in business in NYC since 1977.
It has nothing to do with any business in Italy, if that is what you mean. They "appropriated" the name.
Used to think it was with enamel dial
But it turned out not to be true.
I wonder if there is such a Lange 1 with enamel dial. Could someone tell me the answer? Thanks a lot!

No, there is not.
People sometimes mistakenly posted that the Lange 1 "Cellini" had an enamel dial because it's hard to tell from the photos. That's how the confusion started. The dial definitely isn't enamel. The same confusion happened with the white-dial "Italian" Grand Lange 1 MP below, and folks would also sometimes ask if the 1815 Up/Down "Walter Lange" edition had an enamel dial.
I believe there are only 4 Lange models with enamel dials: The Anniversary Langematik, the Lange 1 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst, the Richard Lange PLM, and the Grand Complication.

Which version of the moonphase is that one again?...........
I forget. Its very nice, I had a chance to buy that one years ago but kept my standard plt version instead.

Btw, that is not the grand mp pictured above..............
Its a special edition but can't remember which one. It's 38.5 mm's not a grand version. The Italian version was a grand lange 1 not a moonphase if i remember correctly.

I found the watch on the net, it is an Italian version.........
Of the regular sized mp. It looks very similar to the Italian grand lange 1 version without the mp.

Apologies! I mistakenly called the above watch (109.049), an LE of 30, "Grand." It's not. The "Grand" L1 for the Italian market (115.046)...
... has overlapping dials, blue (steel?) applied numerals, was an LE of 100, and as you said, no moonphase:
