Trivial though weighty information...
... Awhile ago, I got curious about weights of watches, so I bought a small scale. I was swapping straps between these two Chopards yesterday and figured I'd weigh them, just to see the difference, while I had them in their rare strapless state. The L.U.C. 1.96 on the left is white gold and weighs 58.5g. The one on the right is platinum and weighs 68.9g. [They both make me smile equally, though.]

Interesting how much more dense platinum is...
So an ounce (standard unit of measure for commodity value) is actually smaller volume wise... Thanks for this little bit of trivia!
Might be more...
since its a more expensive metal Choaprd might have chosen to mill out more on the inner side of the case. Magnus
Interesting information. I suppose the ratio between both same models in gold and platinum will vary from one brand to another thanks to different internal alloys
Just checked my periodic table and the platinum has a density of 21.45 vs 19.28 for gold (yellow of course). In order to compare with other materials: 16.6 for tantalum 12 for palladium 4.54 for titanium between 7.5 and 8.1 for steel between 8.4 and 9.2 f...
love this salmon dial
and the movement---especially the micro-rotor! i don't think this model is still in production,sigh! Thanks for sharing it.
Wowww!!
A killer combination of salmon and micro rotor.. I am really liking it. Only the date is a niggle, but hey, it\'s difficult to ask perfection Thanks for sharing! All the best, Alex
I think in the case of such classy watch
no date would complete an already amazing piece. I am really blown by the dial, case shape and movement. A great piece for any collection. Alex
