Introduced in 2001, reference 110.029 from A. Lange & Söhne is distinguished by its striking mother-of-pearl dial, a material prized for its delicate iridescence and natural uniqueness. Part of the exclusive "Soirée" collection, the model pairs the iconic Lange 1 design with a refined and highly unusual aesthetic, showcasing the manufacture's creativity only a few years after the original Lange 1 was launched.
This example features the rarer smooth mother-of-pearl dial, whose subtle reflections create constantly shifting tones depending on the light. Due to the fragile nature of the material, each dial required extremely careful selection, cutting, and finishing, ensuring that no two examples are ever exactly alike.
Beyond its distinctive appearance, the watch retains all the hallmarks of the Lange 1, including its asymmetrical layout, oversized date display, and beautifully finished movement. Powered by the calibre L901.4, specially adapted to accommodate the increased dial thickness, the reference 110.029 represents an elegant and highly collectible interpretation of one of modern watchmaking's great icons.
