Record sales at auctions for LANGE 1 in stainless steel and 1815 MOONPHASE
A LANGE 1 in stainless steel changed owners on 13th May 2013 at
Christie’s “Important Watches” auction in Geneva at 119,489 Euro
(148,500 Swiss francs). A. Lange & Söhne has built a few of these
pieces in the mid-1990ies. Case and buckle of this extremely rare
timepiece are made of stainless steel, complemented by blued-steel
hands. The movement and its functions are the same as in the regular
LANGE 1 with the manufacture Calibre L901.0.
The day before, on
12th May 2013, watch collectors purchased two models of the 1815
MOONPHASE in pink gold, reference 231.031, in an auction at Antiquorum
which took place in Geneva as well. The moon-phase of this watch has
been calculated so accurately that it will deviate from the moon’s
actual orbit by only one day after 1,058 years of uninterrupted
operation.
Presented by A. Lange & Söhne in 2000, the edition was limited to 250 watches. Exemplars with the limited edition numbers 4/250 and 113/250 were now auctioned at 30,215 and 29,208 Euro (37,500 and 36,250 Swiss francs).

Good to know Lange achieving well in auctions!
Continue with the trend please! Tschuss Stephen
my goal would be "1,058 years of uninterrupted operation" [nt]
Why single out a point that makes no sense whatever except for a believer in the company and its press releases? That is a major selling point and they have nothing better to offer us - even as a highlight? How gullible have we become to take that kind of...
try it again, because there WAS a message beyond the "nt"

Doubt ...
most of us here will take that statement literally. It is a general press release out to all the press worldwide... so it is all up to us, the readers. Kong

Interesting comment. I'll give you my reactions, though I'm not sure if you're being critical of Lange's marketing, of the auction house's marketing, or of the watch itself. You asked, "Why single out a point that makes no sense whatever except for a beli...
