First released in 1994 as Lange & Söhne's prototypical dress watch, the Saxonia has had an undeniable air of elegance, sophistication, and stunning design baked into its aesthetic since it first made its way onto the wrists of watch collectors. Since then, the collection has evolved to include some of the most stunning dress watches around, much like the ref. 216.026 that we have here. Crafted from 18k white gold and featuring a stunning symmetrical silver dial with Lange & Söhne's signature understated elegance communicated through a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, the Saxonia is an exquisite example of complete elegance and decorum. Sporting an exhibition caseback, the Saxonia ref. 216.026 proudly displays its immaculately finished manual-wind movement, the cal. L941.1 – perhaps one of Lange's most esteemed movements. Considered to be one of the purest dress watchmakers on the market, it doesn't take too long to figure out why collectors hold Lange & Söhne in such high regard and why the Saxonia is the watch to have for those seeking a timepiece that exudes everything they love about Lange. Featuring a perfectly svelte 37mm case that stands just 7.7mm tall, the Saxonia ref. 216.026 is as perfectly sized a dress watch as exists in the modern context. Combining its understated monochromatic aesthetic with its perfect size, the Saxonia ref. 216.026 is one of the purest dress watches out there.

A perfectly elegant timepiece that echos Lange's graceful aesthetic and impeccable craftsmanship, the Saxonia has been the embodiment of everything that Lange has come to mean to their collectors, and for good reason.
