A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk 'Rose Gold' (Ref. 140.032)

An exceptional, highly innovative, and historically significant 18K rose gold manual-winding mechanical digital wristwatch, featuring an argenté silver dial and a patented constant-force escapement. Presented in good, previously worn condition as a complete full set. 

Widely celebrated as one of the most revolutionary milestones in modern horological history, the Zeitwerk stands as the first mechanical wristwatch to display time digitally with jumping numerals. Inspired by the historic five-minute clock at the Dresden Semper Opera, this landmark reference is powered by the monumental in-house Calibre L043.1 manual-winding movement. To seamlessly transition the immense kinetic energy required to advance the heavy numerals instantaneously every minute, Lange integrated a patented constant-force escapement (remontoire), ensuring a perfectly uniform distribution of power directly to the balance over its 36-hour reserve. 

This specific lot is defined by its beautiful solid silver argenté dial, highlighted by the brand's unmistakable wing-shaped "Time Bridge" crafted from untreated German silver. The revolutionary layout displays oversized jumping hour digits at 9 o'clock and jumping minute digits at 3 o'clock, perfectly balanced by a traditional up/down power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock and a small running seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. Enclosed in a commanding yet elegantly proportioned 41.9mm 18K rose gold case featuring a prominent onion crown at 2 o'clock, the sapphire exhibition case back reveals a breathtaking array of Glashütte craftsmanship. This includes the iconic three-quarter plate, fire-blued screws, and a painstakingly hand-engraved balance cock. The timepiece is fitted to a premium leather strap and secured by an 18K rose gold buckle. 

An absolute holy grail for avant-garde collectors, bridging mechanical mastery with an unparalleled architectural design. Offered at Maynard Auctions in honest, good condition with light signs of wear consistent with careful enjoyment, completely accompanied by its original box and papers.
