Fonte MONOCHROME
The Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar has a diameter of 41.9mm and a height of 12.1mm (the model with tourbillon had a case height of 12.2mm), so it is not ostensibly slimmer. Available in pink gold with a grey solid silver dial and in white gold with a solid pink gold dial, the details on the dials vary according to the case material.
The pink gold/grey dial combination features applied pink gold Roman numerals on the hour and minutes disc. Pink gold is also used to frame the big date window and the triangular month indicator, and the hands. The printings of the dial are white, and unlike the white gold model, the pink gold model features luminescent material on the hour and minute hands, on the hour markers and even the small seconds track. The pink gold is presented with a reddish-brown leather strap with a pink gold prong buckle.
The white gold model, limited to 150 pieces, with its spectacular solid pink gold dial, verging close to a salmon colour, relies on rhodium-plated white gold for the hands and double-framed date window. There is no luminescent material on this model, and it is presented on a dark brown leather strap with a prong buckle in 18k white gold.
NEW CALIBRE L021.3
The new L021.3 automatic movement is Lange’s 67th manufacture calibre and is based on the L021.1 of the Lange 1 Daymatic. The L021.3 has been upgraded with a newly developed winding mechanism with a unidirectional rotor in 21k gold and an additional centrifugal mass in platinum. The cam-poised balance runs at 21,600vph, and the power reserve is of 50 hours.
