A. Lange and Sohne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar 25th Anniversary (Specs & Price)
The Lange 1 “25th Anniversary”, introduced prior to the SIHH 2019, was the first of a commemorative series of ten watches. Two other limited edition pieces followed, with the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase?and the Little Lange 1. For the fourth model in the collection, A. Lange & Sohne introduces the most complicated and exclusive model of this watch family. Meet the 25-piece A.

50 years… 50 years of innovation, 50 years creating professionally oriented watches, 50 years of immersion in the cold seas all around the world – or just simply being strapped on the wrist of watch enthusiasts.?From the first use of a titanium case for a diver's watch to the invention of the accordion-style strap and the two-layer case to the design of dial markers and hands of unparalleled legibility, Seiko had been involved in improving tool watches made to dive for 50 years.

There are also many examples of and Tiffany & Co like this vintage pre-daytona that somehow didn’t sell that well, back in the days. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
