Chopard 161926 L.U.C Quattro 18K Rose Gold Silver Dial

Introduced in 2011, the Chopard L.U.C Quattro reference 161926‑5001 is an exceptional expression of haute horlogerie, marrying classical elegance with technical innovation. Its 43 mm 18‑carat rose gold case presents a refined satin‑brushed mid‑case and polished bezel, while the exhibition sapphire caseback reveals the exquisite hand‑wound L.U.C 1.98 movement, a COSC‑certified chronometer bearing the Poinçon de Genève hallmark. The movement’s patented Quattro architecture—four series‑coupled barrels—delivers a remarkable nine‑day (216‑hour) power reserve with unwavering precision, a remarkable feat in mechanical watchmaking. The silver satin‑finish dial is adorned with gilt dauphine hands, Roman and Arabic numerals, a small seconds subdial, date aperture at 6 o’clock, and a power reserve indicator—all executed with clarity and balance. Paired with a dark brown hand‑sewn alligator leather strap and rose gold pin buckle, this dress watch exudes understated luxury. Collectors prize this model for its blend of technical prowess, extended autonomy, and elegant proportions, making it a standout in Chopard’s L.U.C lineup and a compelling choice for connoisseurs seeking both heritage and horological sophistication.
