A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Tourbillon Handwerkskunst

About this reference

The A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Tourbillon Handwerkskunst reference 703.025F was released in 2021 as a limited edition of 30 pieces. This platinum-cased model is the seventh entry in the Handwerkskunst series and utilizes the rectangular caliber L042.1. Collectors value this reference for its technical innovation, as it features the world’s first stop-seconds mechanism for a tourbillon, and its decorative execution, including a solid white gold dial with semi-transparent grey enamel and manual tremblage engraving. The movement bridges are decorated with black rhodium and granular frosting rather than traditional Glashütte stripes. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range, often exceeding $350,000 depending on provenance. A notable production detail is that this model was launched thirteen years after the original Cabaret Tourbillon was discontinued, serving as a final tribute to the brand’s only rectangular tourbillon movement.
