A. Lange & Söhne Datograph 403.035

1 in stock

The A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Flyback Ref. 403.035 is a landmark of modern horology that set a new benchmark for mechanical chronographs when it debuted in 1999, celebrated by none other than master watchmaker Philippe Dufour as “the best chronograph ever made” . Housed in a 39mm platinum case with a svelte 12.8mm profile, this timepiece is crafted from one of the most prestigious precious metals, offering a dense, reassuring weight that signals its exceptional quality . The deep black solid silver dial is a study in legibility and classical design, featuring applied white-gold Roman numerals and a two-counter layout at 3 and 9 o’clock that frame the instantly recognizable patented oversized date window at 12 o’clock, a signature Lange element inspired by the Dresden Semper Opera clock . Powering this horological icon is the manual-winding Caliber L951.1, a movement of unparalleled architectural beauty comprising over 400 parts and 40 jewels, which is visible through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback . This masterpiece combines a flyback chronograph with a jumping minute counter that snaps instantaneously—a rarity even today—and, of course, the signature big date, all while delivering a 36-hour power reserve . The movement’s three-dimensional construction in untreated German silver is a visual symphony of Glashütte ribbing, hand-polished bevels, a hand-engraved balance cock, and heat-blued screws, representing the pinnacle of Saxon watchmaking artistry . Secured by a luxurious black alligator leather strap with a platinum buckle and offering a water resistance of 30 meters, this original first-generation Datograph was produced in platinum from 1999 to 2011 . Discontinued for over a decade, the 403.035 is a cornerstone piece for any serious collector, distinguished by its “METER” or later “METERS” engraved tachymeter scale, representing the watch that redefined the modern chronograph and remains a fixture in the conversation of the finest watches ever created Key specifications: 39mm platinum case; black dial with white-gold Roman numerals and big date; Caliber L951.1 manual-wind flyback chronograph movement; 36-hour power reserve; black alligator strap; 30m water resistance; sapphire crystal front and exhibition back.
