Introduced in 2005, the L.U.C Lunar One has become one of the most iconic pieces released by Chopard in the 21st century. Powered by a 1.96 QP automatic movement, the limited edition pink gold perpetual calendar t.mes piece accounts for the phases of the moon and constellations, as well as leap year and 24 hour indications.
The complications and technical design of the 1.96 caliber movement was ahead of its t.mes and has been regarded as one of the most impressive creations both mechanically and aesthetically. This invention has served as one of the cornerstones of the brand and has propelled them into the powerhouse watch manufacture they are known as today.
This t.mes piece is an exceptional part of watchmaking history and is offered fresh from service.
