A beautifully preserved vintage Chopard dress watch, crafted in solid 18k white gold and distinguished by its exceptional opal dial. Watches featuring precious hardstone dials were produced by all high-end watch makers from Patek Philippe to Piaget to Audemars Piguet in the mid-1970s to early 1980s, an era when the maisons explored jewellery-watch designs with bold materials and refined, minimalist proportions.
The dial is the highlight of this piece: opal’s natural iridescence shifts between soft blues, greens and flashes of pink as it catches the light, giving every angle a different character. The clean baton hands and slim bezel keep the focus on the stone, creating an elegant balance between simplicity and visual play.
Powered by a manual-winding movement, this model offers the charm of traditional mechanical watchmaking while maintaining the sleek profile typical of Chopard’s dress watches of the period. Its white gold case and matching integrated bracelet make it easy to wear both as a timepiece and as jewellery.
This example comes with a Chopard service card from 2023, confirming that it has been professionally maintained and is running reliably.
A rare opportunity to acquire a vintage Chopard that embodies the maison’s longstanding fusion of watchmaking and high jewellery design.
