2021 A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin Blue Gold Flux Pink Gold
In the past 27 years, A. Lange & Sohne have often been rather cold and understated, with a typical Germanic style, which was largely compensated by the demonstrativeness of the movements.

Recently we had the chance to get up close and personal with the new Patrimony Traditionnelle Small Seconds in platinum, that Vacheron Constantin introduced earlier this year at the SIHH. This new model has all the looks and attributes of a classic dress watch, and it’s one of the most attractive classic dress watches that we have seen in a long time.?Part of its great looks, is that it is not the standard classic dress watch and sets itself a bit apart from other dress watches in pink/yellow gold with a silver/white dial.
