Offered for sale is an exceptional example of the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange, reference 232.026, crafted in 18-carat (750) white gold and dated 2021. This boutique-exclusive execution is presented in like-new condition, retained by a single owner since new, and accompanied by its complete original set.
The Richard Lange line represents one of the purest expressions of Lange’s commitment to precision watchmaking. Inspired by historical scientific observation watches, this model emphasizes clarity, proportion, and mechanical integrity. The argenté solid-silver dial with applied Roman numerals and blued steel hands reflects classical restraint, while the balanced layout ensures exceptional legibility.
The 40.5 mm white gold case maintains refined proportions and understated presence on the wrist, offering elegance without excess.
Movement & Craftsmanship
Powering the watch is the manual-winding Calibre L041.2, a movement that exemplifies Lange’s traditional Glashütte finishing standards.
Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement features:
-
Untreated German silver bridges
-
Gold chatons secured by blued screws
-
Hand-engraved balance cock
-
Traditional three-quarter plate architecture
The manually wound construction reinforces the model’s precision-focused philosophy and direct mechanical engagement.
