This watch is available for sale or trade in Canada preferably. The complete warranty papers properly filled out from Lange authorized dealer are dated 2011 which is the last year for this watch. It is in excellent condition with no dings or dents. There are some swirls to the case. It has not been serviced but it keeps time perfectly to 2-3 seconds per day. It comes with the addition of a platinum deployment which costs about $7000 CAD.

Info about this model:

The A. Lange & Söhne Datograph is a flyback chronograph which not only raised the bar, but in fact shattered the ceiling when it was released in 1999. The level of finishing on the caliber L951.1 was and is still superior to similar offerings from the holy trinity of: Patek Phillipe, Vacheron Constantin, and Audemars Piguet. Phillippe Dufour, who may be the greatest living watchmaker, is on record stating that the datograph is simply the best chronograph ever made (Philippe Dufour, 2013). The wristwatch offered here is the original execution of the datograph which came in platinum. The majority of watch enthusiasts (myself included) believe that this watch is very undervalued, and that prices will continue to uptick in the next 5-10 years due to dwindling supply (Tim Mosso, 2015). I agree that the 39mm size is perfect and the increase to 41mm will not be as desirable in the future (Tim Mosso, 2015). As Tim states in the video below “This is the classic, this is the icon, this is the future auction star”. If you are considering a datograph, this is the one to own.
