A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon (Ref. 704.025) – A Rarity Among Collectors The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon Ref. 704.025 is among the rarest and most sought-after pieces in the brand’s history. With only 150 pieces ever produced in platinum, this model represents exclusivity at its finest.
Why the Lange 1 Tourbillon (Ref. 704.025) is Ultra-Rare Extremely Limited Production
Unlike many Swiss brands that produce high volumes of watches, A. Lange & Söhne is known for its low production numbers and meticulous hand-finishing. The 704.025 was strictly limited to 150 pieces, making it one of the rarest Lange 1 variants ever made. First Tourbillon in the Lange 1 Series
This was the first time Lange incorporated a tourbillon into the Lange 1 collection, making it a historic reference. Tourbillons were traditionally reserved for "Pour le Mérite" watches at Lange, but the introduction in the Lange 1 series marked a significant shift. Exclusive Platinum Case
A. Lange & Söhne produces fewer watches in platinum than in gold, making platinum models inherently rarer. Among Lange’s tourbillon-equipped watches, those in platinum are the most coveted and difficult to acquire. Uncommon Tourbillon with a Date Function
Most tourbillon watches focus purely on precision, but the Lange 1 Tourbillon combines this complication with A. Lange & Söhne’s signature oversized date. This technical combination was unusual at the time and remains unique in Lange’s lineup. Short Production Period (2000-2003)
Unlike modern Lange watches that stay in production for a decade or more, the Lange 1 Tourbillon was only produced for a short period. This adds to its rarity, as many collectors missed the chance to acquire one at retail. Rising Value & Investment Potential Due to its extreme rarity and historical significance, the Lange 1 Tourbillon 704.025 has become a top-tier investment piece.
Originally retailing around $106,000, prices today exceed $120,000-$150,000 depending on condition and completeness. Unlike mass-produced luxury watches, the supply is permanently capped at 150 pieces, ensuring that demand continues to grow over time. As A. Lange & Söhne gains more recognition among global collectors, early rare references like this are seeing exponential value appreciation. Conclusion: A Holy Grail for Collectors With only 150 units ever made, the Lange 1 Tourbillon 704.025 is one of the most exclusive A. Lange & Söhne timepieces in existence. Its historical significance, technical complexity, and limited availability make it a true grail watch, reserved for the most dedicated collectors.
