A refined expression of Chopard’s technical ingenuity and aesthetic sophistication, this L.U.C reference 16/2267 embodies the maison’s commitment to haute horlogerie within an elegant tonneau-shaped case. Crafted in white gold and issued in a limited series of 1,860 pieces, the present example stands as a testament to both exclusivity and artisanal mastery. At its heart beats an automatic movement distinguished by a finely executed yellow gold micro-rotor, allowing for both efficient winding and an unobstructed view of the movement’s meticulous finishing. The bridges are adorned with côtes de Genève, while the mainplate is decorated with perlage, underscoring the attention to detail synonymous with the L.U.C manufacture. The designation “L.U.C” pays tribute to Louis-Ulysse Chopard, founder of the maison in 1860, and identifies the brand’s highest tier of in-house watchmaking, conceived to restore and elevate its horological legitimacy through movements entirely developed and crafted within its Fleurier manufacture. The dial presents a harmonious interplay of textures and form: its central silvered field is worked with guilloché decoration, framed by a chapter ring bearing black Roman numerals that elegantly follow the curvature of the tonneau case. The subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, paired with a discreet date display, ensures both clarity and functional precision. Offered with an additional strap and accompanied by its guarantee card, this timepiece represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a limited-production L.U.C model that seamlessly blends technical refinement with timeless design.
