wrist size? and price if you may

Thank you! It does look great on my wife’s wrist. But, at 36.8mm it also works quite well on my wrist as well. I have a Zeitwerk and a Datograph so having an option that my wife can primarily wear and I can “borrow” when I wear something formal is a nice option. The price is $54.7k

Yes and that’s why I know it is a lovely dial as picture can never do it justice.

Congrats again!!

So, my suggestion is please try one on before you plan on purchasing it.

I appreciate your suggestion, a lot of thought went into this purchase before pulling the trigger especially since I have always drifted towards 40mm+ watches.
I also did try this watch last December but when I went to place my order Lange stopped production last year.

Looks amazing! Congrats. Curious how long it took to get after ordering? It is kinda moving towards the top of my list. Maybe in another year or so. Great that both you and your wife can enjoy it.

Thank you! So my SA reached out to me in March when production resumed I placed my deposit immediately, as Lange stopped taking orders in December last year. I was told to expect delivery sometime in October but it came in earlier than anticipated. One thing that you should take into consideration about this watch is that the ordering window is perhaps determined by what Lange has in their queue and also what else they are are producing. I would reach out to your SA and keep them in the loop of your interest and timeline so they can guide you accordingly.

Thanks that is really helpful. I did a little watch shopping/ browsing last month at South Coast Plaza. The Lange AD was by far the most pleasant experience. In person Lange watches also are just beautiful.

Ok, back to wearing my Zeitwerk which is probably one of my favorite watches and gets a lot of wrist time. The L1 given its recent acquisition will probably be for more corporate events
