Chopard 161936-5001 L.U.C XP Skeletec 18K Rose Gold Skeleton Dial

The Chopard L.U.C XP Skeletec reference 161936‑5001 represents a milestone in the L.U.C line as the first skeletonised calibre produced in‑house by Chopard, introduced circa 2012. Its ultra‑thin 39.5 mm 18‑carat rose gold case, measuring just 6.98 mm thick, houses the automatic L.U.C calibre 96.17‑S, a refined self‑winding movement with twin coaxial barrels (Twin® technology) delivering approximately 65 hours of power reserve. The openworked grey skeleton dial reveals the meticulous finishing of bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève and gilded gear trains, offering collectors a rare glimpse into the movement’s architecture. Limited to just 288 pieces, this model carries both exclusivity and technical sophistication, elevated by its satin‑brushed nickel dial ring and dauphine gilt hands for optimal legibility. The combination of ultra‑thin profile, in‑house skeleton movement, and limited production underscores its appeal among connoisseurs of haute horlogerie. With 30 meters of water resistance and a hand‑stitched brown alligator strap, the L.U.C XP Skeletec stands as a compelling union of elegance, craftsmanship, and collector relevance.
