Chopard LUC 1860 with 1.96 movement Geneva Seal - Black Dial + Rose Gold

FS: Chopard LUC 1860 with 1.96 movement Geneva Seal - Black Dial + Rose Gold

Absolute stunner here. The dial, the hands, the movement.
- Dial remind you of the Simplicity by Dufour? Good eye! It is a Metalam guilloche dial - Dufour used a Metalam guilloche dial for the Simplicity.
- Movement is the Cal 1.96 movement is absolutely spectacular and lives up to the hype. Geneva seal and in my mind at least as good if not better than the Patek Cal 240 movement

In sum: Limited edition piece, exceptional - 37mm rose gold case, Geneva seal Cal 1.96 movement, world class dial - pictures speak for themselves.
- Do not confuse this with the other Chopard with the lesser quality non-Geneva seal 3.96 movement and flat non-Guilloche dial.
- I have owned peers to this watch like the Lange 1815 first series and the Patek 5196 - this is superior to both, no question in my mind.

At this price level, you are getting the art of a piece that, new, would often cost $25-30k today and has the feel of an indie piece. Watch only with correct Chopard strap and Chopard tang buckle.

Priced at $8,500 shipped
