A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Anniversary Jubilee 302.025

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Launched in 2000 to commemorate and celebrate Lange & Sohne’s 10th anniversary following their long hiatus from the watchmaking industry, the Langematik Jubilee 302.025 is a wonderful reminder of Lange’s roots as a watchmaker. Measuring 37mm in diameter, its round platinum case is wonderfully proportioned and wears like a classical dress watch with its sharp pronounced lugs giving it a solid base on the wrist. Limited to just 500 pieces, the Langematik Anniversary is a rare timepiece indeed, as one might expect from an anniversary model. With its immaculate automatic movement and incredibly well-decorated micro-rotor speaking to the level of craftsmanship Lange & Sohne bestow upon their watches, the Langematik is a piece of horological art. Inspired by the brand’s history, its pocket watch-esque design is enigmatic of Lange’s traditional aesthetic with its white enamel dial, large Roman numerals and multi-part construction all calling back to Lange’s heritage.

THE DIAL

Designed to look like an early pocket watch dial the Langematik features a brilliant white enamel dial with blued steel hands and large black Roman numerals with the exception of the red numeral at 12 o'clock - a color often found on early pocket watch dials.

THE MOVEMENT

Powered by one of the finest automatic movements Lange ever produced, the Langematik's cal. L921.7 is immaculately finished with an elaborately engraved gold micro-rotor oscillating weight with a platinum mass to increase winding efficiency that bit more.

Condition

In excellent overall condition with light signs of wear. The enamel dial is in near-mint/mint condition and does not have any chips or cracks in the enamel. The case is unpolished with very crisp lines and case inscriptions to the case back. There is light wear visible, namely on the polished surfaces like the bezel. The watch also includes its original box and papers.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.

Our Perspective

A wonderful piece of Lange's modern heritage, the Langematik Anniversary is an understated yet elegant timepiece that speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and quality found within Lange's incredible watches, even when their design might fly under the radar for the uninitiated.
