Chopard 168860 L.U.C 1860 Revolution Edition SS Salmon Dial 2024

The Chopard L.U.C 1860 Revolution Edition, reference 168860-3002, brings new energy to an already revered classic by reimagining the debut entry of the L.U.C product line. Released in 2023 as a highly exclusive collaboration with Revolution magazine, this 36.5mm piece marries the ethos of fine Geneva watchmaking with a modern perspective on sustainability, employing the brand’s own Lucent Steel for the case. Distinguished by an untreated solid gold salmon dial, beautifully guilloched by the esteemed Metalem manufacture, and finished with a radiant sunburst motif, this edition delivers on both tactility and depth. Powering the watch is the celebrated L.U.C caliber 96.40-L—an in-house automatic movement known for its micro-rotor construction and remarkable 65-hour power reserve—signifying both technical prowess and collector relevance. Only 50 examples exist, marking it as one of Chopard’s rarest and most desirable L.U.C executions to date. The model’s clean, classic lines draw a direct lineage to the very first L.U.C of 1997, appealing to connoisseurs seeking distinction, historic homage, and horological innovation in a single reference. The pairing of a grained matte calfskin strap and Lucent Steel pin buckle completes a balanced approach to luxury. Its understated elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and exclusive production number underscore its immediate relevance for high-end Chopard and independent-limited-edition collectors alike.
