Thanks for posting... That was pretty high even though I guess it was expected. It'll be interesting to se the one at the Dr. Crott auction in a few days.
Up for auction is two solid casebacks at auction house Dorotheum: - A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 reference 101.002 from 1995 with receipt. Estimate EUR 20-30k. - A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 reference 151.001 from 1994. Estimate EUR 30-50k.
Lange 1 101.005 complete set at Phillips' auction in November 2021 sold for CHF 108.360. Lange 1 101.005 with proof of origin at Dr. Crott's auction in November 2021 sold for € 92.500. To be auctioned at Phillips in December in New York a Lange 1 reference 101.001, the early one, the original one. Comes with box, certificate and solid caseback. Estimate is €26.600-53.200. Will this one surpass €100k?
• A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 reference 101.002 from 1995 with receipt. Estimate EUR 20-30k. Sold for € 64.000 at Dorotheum. • A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 reference 151.001 from 1994. Estimate EUR 30-50k. Sold for € 64.000 at Dorotheum.
Another closed/solid case back for sale at C24 from Danish dealer "Chrono.dk". Priced just above €100k with box, papers and certificate at ~€109k. Looking forward to this season's auctions. Might we also see some more Lange 1 with display case back?
Lange is really catching up big time. Long time a very undervaluated brand. The Lange 1 is a true naughties icon with the Royal Oak Offshore.
Amazing - and really about time. If currently produced steel Royal Oaks sell for €50k, the original Lange 1 certainly deserves a higher sales price as well.
A Lange 101.002 (with special history) was recently sold via German auction house Dr. Crott. Estimate was €30-60 k. Realized price >€156k.
Very early 101.001 for sale at the Danish auction house bruunrasmussen: https://bruun-rasmussen.dk/m/lots/F6E96979C447?auction_day_id=1007708 There are also a 102.001 on the same auction: https://bruun-rasmussen.dk/m/lots/C088129BA15D?auction_day_id=1007708 Nice set
