The case is in very good overall condition with crispy edges. The colour of the case is slightly darkened by rare gold oxide and shows a beautiful warm gold tone.
In the LANGE 1 MOON PHASE, the eponymous complication is a genuine eye-catcher. The display reproduces the so-called synodic month of 29.531 days – or 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds – with an accuracy of 99.998 per cent. Once correctly set, the display has to be corrected by one day after 122.6 years, assuming the watch runs without interruption.
