The Chopard St. Moritz is one of the earliest luxury sports watches to emerge from the 1980s—an era defined by bold designs, integrated bracelets, and the newfound fusion of gold and steel. Originally designed by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele at just 22 years old, the St. Moritz was launched in 1980 as the first sports watch ever made by Chopard and the first model the brand produced in stainless steel. This specific example elevates the original vision to its highest expression, being crafted entirely in yellow gold and housing an automatic chronograph movement—the legendary Caliber 1185, one of the thinnest automatic chronograph calibers ever made. The solid gold integrated bracelet and screwed bezel reflect a sporty yet refined presence, while the electric blue dial—a more attractive configuration—adds a level of richness and charisma rarely seen on the market. Combining high horology, distinctive design, and genuine rarity, the Circa St. Moritz Chronograph represents not only a milestone in Chopard’s modern history, but also one of the finest expressions of 1980s sport-luxury aesthetics.
