A. Lange and Sohne 140.032 Zeitwerk 18K Rose Gold Silver Dial

The A. Lange and Sohne Zeitwerk ref. 140.032, introduced in 2009, is a landmark in modern haute horlogerie, marrying technical ingenuity with Germanic refinement. Housed in a 41.9 mm 18‑carat pink gold case measuring 12.6 mm thick, this timepiece features a solid argenté silver dial with a distinctive German silver time‑bridge that bisects the display. Powered by the manually wound caliber L043.1, the movement incorporates a patented constant‑force escapement and a remontoir to ensure precise, instantaneous jumping of the hour and minute discs, while delivering a 36‑hour power reserve. The three‑quarter plate in untreated German silver, hand‑engraved balance cock, and screwed gold chatons underscore Lange’s devotion to artisanal finishing. The dial layout includes jumping hours and minutes, a subsidiary seconds dial, and a power‑reserve indicator—each function executed with clarity and mechanical drama. Though not a limited edition, the Zeitwerk’s pioneering digital display and sophisticated mechanics have made it a collector cornerstone. It remains a compelling statement of both technical mastery and aesthetic restraint from one of Germany’s most esteemed manufactures. Like New with A. Lange and Sohne box and papers dated 2013.
