Dealer description — Bulang & Sons

A modern era grail that makes your heart for watches tick a beat quicker… Established in Glashütte, Germany in 1994, A. Lange & Söhne creates some of the finest watches in the world, rivaling or even surpassing brands like Patek Philippe. Lange produces approximately 5,000 pieces a year, truly catering to the discerning watch enthusiast. One of their masterpieces is the Datograph, the brand’s first chronograph introduced in 1999. In 2012, they launched this specific reference, the 405.035, as a new update in the previous series. It became 2mm larger and featured an extended power reserve of 60 hours. The most significant improvements were the removal of Roman numerals, replaced with baton markers, and the addition of a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock, earning it the nickname "up/down." This watch is an absolute masterpiece, executed in the most luxurious material, platinum, and featuring an exquisite black dial. It comes with the original box and papers. We can’t overstate how unique it feels to operate a Lange. It's a true sensory delight for any watch collector, with the satisfying smoothness of winding the watch and operating the buttons being unmatched. Every element in these watches feel absolute at the highest level, like the clearness of the crystal and the sharpness of the print on the dial. The true highlight of the watch is, of course, the movement. When held in your hands, the 3D effect of the movement is astonishing. This is one of the modern masterpieces in complication watches, a subject we have been passionate about for a while now. We are thrilled to offer this example for sale.
