A. lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual in white gold and black dial (live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
White gold and black dial: a classical combination of the watch industry, even for A. Lange & Sohne.

Now, the white gold –?black?dial combo is also available in the A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual, the perpetual calendar watch with automatic movement?of the Saxonian Manufacture.The A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual?comes with?ALS classical design, meaning a pure and refined round case polished on the top, brushed on the sides, with masculine and straight lugs.

Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual was available in 18k pink gold and in solid platinum, both with a silver opaline dial. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

And it does so at an impossible-to-ignore price point, and with a pr
