Chopard has long been celebrated for gorgeous and diverse timepieces. This Swiss manufacturer has an intriguing history of crafting reliable watches that were utilized by railroad employees. Additionally, in the world of haute horlogerie, Chopard is famous for exquisite jewel-encrusted timepieces.

The race is on with this Chopard Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Special-edition timepiece.

With its eye-catching patterned silver tone dial the yellow outer ring and its printed minute track and yellow sweep seconds hand truly take center stage. Look for applied wedge-shaped markers, a large Arabic 12 and 6, and a date window conveniently located at 3.

The rugged satin-finished titanium case measures 44.5 mm in diameter, 13.9 mm in height, and rests upon a fashion-forward “racing” strap composed of black leather and yellow stitching with a deployant clasp buckle for additional safety.
