Lange & Söhne produced only 16 platinum pocket watches in total Movement No. 12579, Case No. 12579, Dimensions 50 mm, circa 1878, Weight 168 g, Origin: Germany, Original box Case: Platinum, screwed-on gold monogram with a baron’s crown above, “Jürgens” case design, 18K gold dome, gold crown, pusher, hinge, and shackle. Dial: Enamel. Movement: 3/4-plate movement, lever escapement, gold-screw-compensated balance. A truly remarkable watch in the history of A. Lange & Söhne.

The whereabouts of the remaining pieces are largely unknown. Thanks to its impressive matte gray appearance and remarkable feel, this watch is unique and represents a true highlight for any collection with a serious interest in Glashütte timepieces. Case: very good. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, capable of running, cleaning recommended.
