The present watch is a very elegant example of A. Lange & Söhne’s Cabaret “Soirée” model. It impresses by the most elegant combination of the yellow gold case set with 54 princess-cut yellow diamonds, beautifully enhanced by the mother-of-pearl dial with sunray decorated guilloché centre.

A. Lange & Söhne first introduced the Cabaret model in 1997, its rectangular case design paying tribute to the geometrical elegance of the Art Deco style from the 1920 and 30s.

Each detail of the timeless design and artisanal immaculacy of the L931.3 manufacture calibre pays tribute to the great Saxon watchmaking pioneer. Apart from the three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver, key hallmarks include the hand-engraved balance cock, the classic screw balance, the whiplash spring, the gold chatons that secure the bearing jewels, and the thermally blued screws.
