A. Lange and Sohne 236.050 1815 "200th Anniversary" 18K Honey Gold Silver Dial

Released in 2015 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Ferdinand Adolph Lange's birth, the A. Lange and Sohne 1815 200th Anniversary F. A. Lange reference 236.050 is one of the most historically resonant modern limited editions from the Glashutte manufacture. It was produced in a limited run of 200 pieces and reserved this exact execution for the anniversary model, pairing a 40 mm Honeygold case with a restrained silver dial that underscores the watch's classical Saxon character. The design draws directly from the 1815 family's pocket-watch inspired language, with Arabic numerals, chemin de fer minute track, and small seconds laid out with the discipline collectors expect from Lange's most traditional line. Power comes from the manually wound caliber L051.1, a movement respected for its balanced architecture, three-quarter plate construction, hand-engraved balance cock, and thoroughly finished German-silver components. At just 8.8 mm thick, the watch carries with unusual elegance for a precious-metal Lange, while still delivering the visual depth of a true high-horology movement through the sapphire back. Honeygold gives this reference a particular collector appeal, as the alloy occupies a distinct place in the brand's modern catalog and was used selectively for important commemorative pieces. The watch was not a country or boutique edition, but rather a dedicated anniversary limited edition tied specifically to the bicentenary of F. A. Lange. Among time-only Lange references, this piece stands out for combining strict historical inspiration, uncommon case metal, and a meaningful commemorative context without resorting to overt novelty. For experienced collectors, reference 236.050 represents one of the purest modern expressions of Lange's heritage-driven watchmaking. Like New with A. Lange & Söhne service box.
