A. Lange and Sohne 403.035F Datograph Flyback Platinum Black Dial

The A. Lange and Sohne 403.035F Datograph Flyback Platinum is considered a breakthrough in modern chronograph watchmaking, cementing its status since its original release in 1999 as a cornerstone of high horology. Crafted from solid platinum, this 39mm masterpiece is paired with a striking black dial distinguished by pronounced subdials and an outsized date window—emphasizing both legibility and style for discerning collectors. It is powered by Lange’s renowned manually wound movement, celebrated for its in-house column wheel architecture and the precision of its signature flyback chronograph function. The construction of the movement, visible through a sapphire caseback, reveals German silver bridges and intricate finishing that have set new industry standards. The 403.035F Platinum iteration delivers a palpable weight and an understated yet commanding presence on the wrist, especially when coupled with the classic black alligator strap. Regarded as the archetype for contemporary data-driven chronographs, the Datograph is revered by aficionados for its technical complexity and the balance of its dial. Its enduring collectability is rooted in its limited early production and the historic significance of A. Lange and Sohne’s rebirth after German reunification. For collectors, the 403.035F stands as a touchstone in both Lange’s lineage and twentieth-century watchmaking, acclaimed for technical, historical, and design excellence. Like New with A.
