Chopard 16/91894 L.U.C Lunar One Platinum Silver Dial

The Chopard L.U.C Lunar One reference 16/91894, introduced circa 2010 in a strictly limited edition of just 250 pieces, represents a pinnacle of haute horlogerie from the esteemed L.U.C collection. Housed in a 40.5 mm platinum case with a refined 11.47 mm thickness, this perpetual calendar with orbital moon‑phase display is powered by the in‑house automatic caliber 1.96 QP, a COSC‑certified, Geneva Seal movement featuring a micro‑rotor and twin barrels delivering a robust power reserve. The silvered, engine‑turned dial is elegantly contrasted by applied Arabic numerals on a black chapter ring, while the three subsidiary dials articulate month with leap‑year, day with 24‑hour, and seconds with moon‑phase functions—each indication executing instantaneous jumps at midnight for precise calendar transitions. The orbital moon phase, a signature of the Lunar One, tracks lunar cycles with such accuracy that it requires adjustment only once every 122 years. The platinum case’s brushed flanks and polished bezel convey a stately presence, while the exhibition case‑back reveals the movement’s superb finishing. Offered on a black alligator strap secured by a platinum double‑deployant clasp, this Lunar One is a compelling acquisition for collectors seeking a rare, technically sophisticated perpetual calendar in precious metal.
