A. Lange & Sohne - Question
ALS enthusiasts / experts, please help me with a couple of questions about the 1815 …
I recently went into my local ALS AD, and tried on the Saxonia and 1815 and Lange 1 … love them all, but I love the Blue hands of the 1815. The 38.5mm was a perfect fit for my wrist. One problem … I am not a fan of Rose (pink) Gold, but found through my research, that ALS used to make the 1815 in Yellow Gold (my preference). Questions … When did ALS first introduce the 1815 line, specifically the two hand w/ “small seconds” ? What years were this watch made in Yellow Gold ? Thanks. |

I believe the yellow gold was made only for the OG 36mm reference and then the later 40mm reference. The current 38.5mm I dont think Ive ever seen in yelllow. Why source the yellow would be my question? Langes rose gold is the nicest in the biz imo

OP, I was in the same boat initially, but after trying on the rose gold variation I actually took to it. Plus, as it patinas it turns more yellow so, you'll eventually get the color you had initially preferred. [IMG][/IMG] |

I do not dislike the “Pink Gold” per say, I just like Yellow Gold more … and, perhaps more importantly, I collect cufflinks also … all my gold cufflinks are Yellow Gold … I’m not starting that over !!! Lol Also, I would wear this watch with a Tuxedo, and all my stud sets are YG, and some were my father’s. No way I’m switching off those. I actually went to my AD, who is actually an ALS Boutique, looking for a Breguet (this AD is also a Breguet Boutique) since Breguet is one of the last watch makers still making a Yellow Gold, two or three hand / simple dress watch … also PP Calatrava, but not the one I like … and put on for the first time, and fell in love with the ALS 1815. The Breguet (5177) just fitting a little too big on my wrist, with those near straight lugs. |

I will say that ALS is the best looking of the Rose tinted (and really Copper tinted is a better descriptor to me) from all the watch makers … IMO.
