A. Lange and Sohne 101.025 Lange 1 Platinum "STEALTH" Silver Dial

The A. Lange and Sohne Lange 1 reference 101.025—often dubbed the “Stealth”—was introduced around 2000 and embodies the brand’s rebirth-era elegance in a discreet, monochromatic platinum execution. Housed in a 38.5 mm platinum case with a refined 10–10.2 mm thickness, this first‑generation Lange 1 presents a solid sterling silver dial in a soft silver‑gray tone that seamlessly matches the platinum case and date disc, lending the piece its stealthy sobriquet. Powered by the in‑house manual‑winding caliber L901.0, the movement offers approximately 72 hours of power reserve, featuring Lange’s signature hand‑engraved balance cock, swan‑neck fine adjustment, and a hacking seconds mechanism. The asymmetric dial layout combines off‑center hours and minutes, small seconds, power‑reserve indicator, and the iconic outsized date—each element balanced with Germanic precision. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, underscoring its dress watch character rather than sport utility. The platinum case and buckle are complemented by a hand‑stitched black alligator strap, enhancing its understated luxury. Collectors prize this reference not only for its technical pedigree and exquisite finishing, but also for its rarity and the quiet sophistication that sets it apart from the more overt “Darth” variants. This Lange 1 remains a cornerstone of modern horological design and a compelling acquisition for discerning connoisseurs. Like New.
