Catalogue description

Dealer description — Bulang & Sons

Where elegance meets craftsmanship It is no secret that A. Lange & Söhne has been among the top contenders in haute horlogerie over the past years. In terms of attention to detail and pure elegance, they have emerged as a serious competitor, with some even questioning whether they outshine brands like Patek. The Saxonia was one of the original four models introduced by Lange in 1994 and has become their interpretation of the Calatrava style. It is a timeless timepiece that exudes incredible elegance and meticulous attention to detail. The 380.033 reference, crafted in 18k rose gold with a stunning opaline dial, is one of their latest offerings. This watch comes from the original owner who purchased it in Germany in 2022. It remains in nearly new condition, complete with its original box, papers, leather alligator watch strap, and buckle. The dial and movement execution are the standout features, in our opinion. The dial showcases a sub-dial at six o’clock housing the seconds hand and elegant baton markers. The movement execution is truly exceptional, a masterpiece to behold through the crystal case back. If you are delving into collecting or developing a deeper interest in modern dress watches with an emphasis on elegance, the Saxonia could be the perfect addition to your collection.

Atlas type guide

Automatic (self-winding) watches

Self-winding watches use the wearer's motion to wind the mainspring. Abraham-Louis Perrelet and Breguet made 'perpétuelle' pocket watches with oscillating weights in the late eighteenth century, but the principle only became practical in the wristwatch. John Harwood patented a bumper automatic in 1923; Rolex's Perpetual rotor (1931) winding in one direction, and later bidirectional rotors (Eterna, Felsa Bidynator), established the modern form. Micro-rotors (Universal Genève, Buren) and peripheral rotors made automatic watches thinner.

What to look for

  • A semicircular rotor turning 360° over the movement, or a 'bumper' weight that rebounds between springs.
  • 'Automatic', 'Perpetual' or 'Self-winding' on the dial.
  • A sealed screw-back case, since automatic watches are wound less often by the crown.

Dating clues

  • Bumper automatics: 1923–c. 1955.
  • Full rotors: from 1931 (Rolex); widespread after c. 1950.
  • Micro-rotors: from 1954–1958.
