A. Lange and Sohne 404.032 Double Split 18K Rose Gold Silver Dial

The A. Lange and Sohne Double Split reference 404.032 is a landmark in chronograph innovation, first introduced in 2004 as the world’s inaugural double rattrapante wristwatch. Housed in a substantial 43.2 mm by 15.3 mm 18K rose‑gold case, this manually wound marvel is powered by the highly complex in‑house caliber L001.1, featuring a 38‑hour power reserve and an exquisite three‑layer chronograph architecture with both flyback and double split‑seconds and split‑minutes functions. The argenté‑coloured solid silver dial, crafted from solid silver, displays a power‑reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, subsidiary seconds, and a precisely jumping minute counter, all framed by a tachymeter scale—an elegant yet functional layout that speaks to Lange’s design heritage. Every movement is hand‑finished with gold chatons, blued screws, and an engraved balance cock, underscoring the brand’s artisanal mastery and collector appeal. Though no longer in production, the 404.032 remains a highly sought‑after collector’s piece, celebrated for its mechanical audacity and rarity within the Saxonia family. Like New with A.
