A. Lange & Söhne, 18 Karat Gold, Chronograph Pocket Watch, 1898 Constantinopel

About the Item

This exquisite and rare pocket watch from A. Lange & Söhne represents an extraordinary combination of historical craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Manufactured around 1898, it embodies the high art of Saxon watchmaking tradition. The heart of this precision pocket watch is the high-quality chronograph movement caliber 43, which is still fully functional today and thus bears witness to the quality and durability of the masterpiece. The movement is housed in a magnificent 18 carat gold case in the shape of 'Lucia', which weighs a total of 110 grams. The back of the case is adorned with an artfully crafted relief monogram, which gives the piece an individual touch. Case diameter WITHOUT crown and eyelet: 53.5 mm. The white enamel dial features the characteristic Empire numbers, which guarantee clarity and legibility. The numbers harmonize perfectly with the elegant hands and the minute-accurate chronograph display. This pocket watch was originally sold to the Huber Frères company in Constantinople, highlighting its storied past and the brand's extensive reputation. The watch is accompanied by its original case and a certificate (extract from the register) from the Glashütte Watch Museum in Saxony, which confirms the authenticity and historical value of the piece. A piece for connoisseurs and collectors that embodies both the aesthetics and precision of ancient watchmaking and represents a rare addition to any discerning collection. Note: The paper that is in the original case is a copy and not the original document.
