Lapis Elegance — A Sculptural Jewel by Chopard
Few watches combine the richness of materials with such refined restraint. This 1970s Chopard Ref. 2017 is a rare creation in solid 18k yellow gold, crowned by a flawless Lapis Lazuli dial that radiates deep, celestial blue with natural golden flecks — a dial that’s as much gemstone as timekeeper.
Housed in a crisp 27mm square case and paired with its original integrated gold bracelet, this piece wears like a finely crafted piece of jewelry. The minimalist design — Alpha hands, a subtle Chopard logo, and a discreet L.U.C-signed crown — lets the natural beauty of the dial take center stage.
Elegant yet quietly bold, this is a watch for collectors who appreciate the artistry of hardstone dials and the unique charm of vintage Chopard design.
