A. Lange and Sohne 136.029 Lange 1 Time Zone 18K White Gold Black Dial

The A. Lange and Sohne 136.029 Lange 1 Time Zone Black Dial White Gold is a masterwork from Saxony’s most esteemed modern manufacture. Melding traditional German haute horlogerie with globally relevant functionality, the Lange 1 Time Zone is prized for its ability to track two time zones simultaneously via its distinctive asymmetric dial. Reference 136.029 is crafted in 18K white gold and features a deep black dial, achieving a striking contrast with the signature oversized date and crisp applied markers. Behind the sapphire caseback, the L141.1 manual wind movement reveals meticulous hand-finishing, with a three-quarter plate, gold chatons, and a hand-engraved balance cock, a testament to exceptional artisanal standards. Collectors revere the Lange 1 Time Zone line for both its technical innovation—the day/night indicators for both local and home time, synchronized date with reference time, and user-friendly pusher system—and its enduring style. The 41.9 mm case, paired with a sophisticated brown alligator strap, grants substantial wrist presence while remaining elegant and wearable. As a recent-generation Time Zone (released circa 2020), this model also features an upgraded movement with an extended power reserve. Its confluence of refinement, functionality, and finishing makes it a cornerstone for collectors who value peerless German engineering and international sophistication. Water resistance is minimal to preserve traditional dress watch aesthetics, emphasizing its focus on elevated finishing and mechanical art. Like New with A. Lange and Sohne box and papers dated 2022.
