Quick TakeAlright, let's talk about this Chopard L.U.C Perpetual Chrono, reference 168611-3001–this ain't your grandpa's dress watch. We're looking at a 45mm titanium beast that's more at home on the wrist of a jet-setter than in a dusty display case. The dial's got that killer sunburst guilloché thing going on, and those rhodium-plated markers? Sharp. This is the kind of watch that doesn't just tell time; it tells a story. A story of meticulous craftsmanship. Inside, the L.U.C 03.10-L movement is a symphony of 452 parts, all working in harmony to power a perpetual calendar and flyback chronograph. That's right, it's got brains and brawn. And with a 60-hour power reserve, this bad boy's ready to go the distance. It's a statement piece, no doubt. And only 20 of these were ever made. Talk about exclusive.

DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C Perpetual Chrono, reference 168611-3001, represents a modern interpretation of classic fine watchmaking, combining advanced horological complications with contemporary materials. This timepiece features a 45mm case crafted from grade 5 titanium, rendering it both lightweight and exceptionally durable, with a total thickness of 15.06 mm. The dial is crafted in 18k white gold, finished in an anthracite gray with a hand-guilloché pattern. It features a satin sunburst finish centered on the date window, complemented by rhodium-plated chevron hour markers. An azured flange surrounds the dial, with white minute marker transfers and red digits, while the counters are presented in an opaline silver-tone anthracite color with white transfers. The watch is powered by the L.U.C 03.10-L caliber, a hand-wound mechanical movement that is meticulously decorated and assembled. This movement features a perpetual calendar and a flyback chronograph, two highly regarded complications. The perpetual calendar accurately displays the day, date, month, and leap year, requiring no adjustment until the year 2100. The chronograph function includes a central seconds hand, a jumping 30-minute counter, and a 12-hour counter, enhancing its functionality. The movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, equivalent to 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring precision and reliability. The movement has a power reserve of approximately 60 hours when fully wound.

The movement, visible through the see-through sapphire crystal case-back, is adorned with Côtes de Genève on the bridges and circular graining on the mainplate. It comprises 452 individual parts, with 42 jewels minimizing friction between moving components. The balance spring is flat, and the balance wheel is of the Variner type, contributing to the movement's stability and accuracy. The L.U.C 03.10-L caliber has a diameter of 33.00 mm and a thickness of 8.32 mm. The watch meets rigorous standards of quality, attested by the Poinçon de Genève hallmark, which certifies its exceptional craftsmanship and finishing. Additionally, the movement's precision is validated by its Chronometer certification, indicating that it has passed stringent tests for accuracy and reliability under various conditions. The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters, providing protection against minor water exposure, though it is not designed for submersion or swimming. It is fitted with a glare-proofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and durability. The strap is crafted from black alligator leather with a matt square plate finish, featuring hand-sewn matching tones, and lined with brown alligator and gray calfskin with a nubuck effect. It is secured with a titanium folding clasp, matching the case material. This limited edition model is restricted to only 20 pieces, underscoring its exclusivity and collectability.
