A. LANGE & SÖHNE FLYBACK DATAGRAPH REFERENCE 403.035 PLATINUM – COMPLETE SET – EXCELLENT CONDITION
In 1999, at the turn of the century, after decades without a new chronograph movement, a 9-year-old company debuted the most unexpected: an in-house chronograph: Datograph Flyback caliber L951.1. The in-house chronograph of such size, architecture and finish was a new vision of measurement. To give a concrete example, in 1998, Patek Philippe had just introduced the 5070 with the Lemania ebauche (also too small for the case).
Classified words are one of the best-known linguistic practices in German. These are words that are formed by combining a pair of words like Fingerspitzengefühl – Finger/Spitzen/Gefühl. So, as a German company, Lange also followed the language and created the name Datograph – Date + chronograph.
Lange presented the platinum Datograph reference 403.035 at the Basel Fair in a small stand shared with brothers IWC and JLC in 1999. There was not a giant watch in the stand, as was tradition but a gigantic movement model, just to increase the racing heartbeat of the Swiss competitors and to give them the opportunity to closely examine what they would have to face.
This luxury and used watch. lange & söhne boasts the following futures:
Platinum case and deployment clasp
Black dial with large date display
Powered sub-dials and Roman numerals
Chronograph with Flyback complication
Complete set
