DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C Perpetual T, reference 161940-1001, is a horological marvel constructed with an ethical 18-carat white gold case that spans 43 mm in diameter and has a thickness of 14.90 mm. The case houses the hand-wound mechanical movement, caliber L.U.C 02.15-L. This movement is a certified chronometer that also bears the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, signifying its superior craftsmanship and precision. It operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, translating to 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring accurate timekeeping. Its power reserve is approximately 216 hours, thanks to Chopard's Quattro® technology, utilizing two sets of two stacked barrels. This movement comprises 353 parts, with 31 jewels integrated to reduce friction and wear, enhancing longevity. The L.U.C 02.15-L movement measures 33.00 mm in diameter and 9.35 mm in thickness. The mainplate is decorated with circular graining, while the bridges are adorned with Côtes de Genève. The movement is equipped with a Variner balance wheel and a balance spring featuring a Phillips terminal curve. A sapphire crystal case-back allows for an unobstructed view of the intricately decorated movement.

The timepiece showcases a salmon-colored gold dial, achieved through galvanic treatment, featuring a hand-crafted guilloché finish centered on the L.U.CHOPARD logo. Time is indicated via rhodium-plated Roman numerals. The dial displays a suite of complications, including a perpetual calendar with a four-year leap-year cycle, a 24-hour scale, and a tourbillon, enhancing its functionality. A date and power-reserve indicator are also present. The watch's hands and markers are treated for optimal legibility under various lighting conditions. Encased behind a glareproofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the dial is protected from the elements. The 30-meter water resistance rating safeguards the watch against accidental splashes or brief immersion in water. A brown, vintage matt calfskin strap complements the watch's aesthetic, secured with an 18-carat white gold folding clasp.
