A. Lange & Söhne Little Lange 1 „Boutique Edition“ ref. 181.039 in 18k white gold 🍷
The Little Lange 1 has been around since 1998, born as a smaller take on the classic Lange 1. Same Caliber L901.0, just scaled down to 36.8mm x 9.5mm for smaller wrists, with a recessed corrector instead of a button for the big date. This one belongs to the second generation, launched in 2017, now released as boutique editions of just 100 pieces with dials that lean far more decorative than the originals.
And what a dial: that Bordeaux red, hand-guilloché finish practically made this piece the face of the new generation. Flip it over and the hand-wound Caliber L121.1 fills the entire case back, three-quarter plate in German silver and all, good for three days of power reserve.
Phillips Hong Kong auction 2026 (est. HKD $200,000–400,000).
