Chopard - Happy Diamonds - 206528-0001 - Women - 1996

For sale is an exquisite masterwork of Haute Horlogerie from the traditional house Chopard: an elegant Chopard Happy Diamonds ladies' watch made of finest 18-karat yellow gold (reference: 206528-0001) in an absolute full-set.

This model embodies pure elegance and technical craftsmanship: The centerpiece are the 5 legendary “Happy Diamonds,” which move completely freely and dance between two sapphire crystals with every motion.

A very special highlight for the future owner is the excellent service history of this watch: In 2015, during a service, a completely new, original quartz movement was installed directly by Chopard. The watch thus combines beautiful, authentic vintage charm on the exterior with the absolute reliability of a pristine movement at its heart.

Two further features make this specimen particularly valuable for collectors:

1. The rare dial: Unlike the widespread standard models with smooth dials, this dial features applied gold dot indices. This variant was sold in small quantities at the time and offers, besides the rare look, the great advantage that the time is exceptionally easy to read.

2. The full-set: The watch is delivered complete with the original Chopard box and the original Chopard papers/certificates. Such a set is hardly found on the market today.

As seen in the pictures, the watch features a bezel studded seamlessly with sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds. The distinctive round lugs are each set with a large, prominent diamond. The luxurious look is completed by an elegant blue leather strap.

Please study the pictures carefully, as they are part of the description.
