DescriptionCrafted in a limited run of 15 pieces, the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst, reference 720.048FE, stands as a testament to horological mastery and artistic finesse. Housed in a 950 platinum case measuring 41.9mm in diameter and 12.2mm in thickness, this timepiece exudes an air of understated elegance. The solid white-gold dial is a canvas for intricate hand-engraving, employing relief and tremblage techniques to create a mesmerizing tapestry of textures and patterns. The outsize date, a hallmark of A. Lange & Söhne's design language, features hand-painted blue numerals, further accentuating the dial's artistry. Rhodium-plated gold hands gracefully traverse the dial, indicating hours, minutes, and subsidiary seconds.

Beneath the dial resides the self-winding caliber L082.1, a marvel of micro-engineering comprising 624 individual components. This movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour and boasts a power reserve of 50 hours. The tourbillon, a mesmerizing complication visible through the sapphire crystal case back, not only enhances accuracy but also serves as a visual spectacle. The perpetual calendar mechanism tracks the date, day of the week, month, and leap year, requiring no adjustment until the year 2100. The moon phase display, meticulously calibrated to a 122.6-year cycle, adds a touch of celestial elegance to the timepiece. The watch is secured to the wrist with a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap and a platinum buckle, completing the luxurious ensemble.
