A. Lange and Söhne 118.032 (Pre-owned - Good) — USD 36,000 on eBay

The A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Moonphase, reference 118.032, was introduced in 2004 and discontinued in 2009. This particular reference is distinguished by its rectangular case and moon phase complication, offering a distinct aesthetic within the brand's portfolio, which is more commonly associated with round cases. It represents a period where A. Lange & Söhne explored more varied case shapes while maintaining its commitment to traditional Saxon watchmaking. The watch features an 18kt rose gold case measuring 25.5 mm by 36.3 mm, excluding the lugs, with a thickness of 9.1 mm. It is powered by the manual-winding caliber L931.5, a shaped movement specifically designed to fit the rectangular case. The dial is silver, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the watch is fitted with a brown leather strap. This reference appeals to collectors seeking a less common A. Lange & Söhne model with a unique case shape and a sophisticated complication. Its limited production run and the bespoke nature of its movement contribute to its rarity and desirability in the secondary market. The Cabaret Moonphase stands as an example of the brand's technical and design versatility.
