Chopard and the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique: Official Timekeepers Since 2002

Shoving diamonds all over a tourbillon movement based watch can often have a “gaudy” result. It’s hard to produce the ultra decadent and still have it appear tasteful. I believe that despite the almost half million dollar price of this Chopard Ladies Diamond Quattro Tourbillon watch, it still remains cleverly and attractively designed.

The decadence comes with the 42mm wide 18k white or rose gold case fitted with about 450 diamonds (over 10 carats) in round, baguette, and pave cuts. The watches are matched with white or pink alligator straps. Inside is Chopard’s lauded L.U.C. 4T manufacture made tourbillon movement. The “Quattro” relates to the fact that the movement contain four barrels for a total power reserve of 216 hours (nine days) in this manually wound movement! Further, this Chopard L.U.C. 4T is one of the few chronometer COSC certified tourbillon movements available.
