Chopard - 33917 - 1950-1959

Overview
This is an attractive vintage L.U.C mechanical wristwatch with a clean mid-century Swiss look. The silver-tone dial combines applied numeral markers, baton indexes, and a central seconds layout, giving the watch a refined and very wearable dress-watch character. With a diameter of approximately 34.16 mm excluding the crown, it has a balanced classic size for everyday wear or collection. The watch is offered together with a brown leather watch case, which adds presentation value and makes the set feel more complete. Its strongest appeal lies in the clearly signed dial and movement, the 17 jewel configuration, and the well-preserved period design language.
