Anyone seen the Chopard LUC XP 16/1902 with an enamel dial?
This is a watch that I have seen online recently but have not been able to locate in a Boutique just yet. Admittedly not tried at many so far.
It's an XP with a grand feu enamel dial and Roman numerals as opposed to applied numerals and hour markers of the more common ones.
Anyone seen one of these live?

Oh dear...
that dial is perfect! Very subtle & dressier too ! Thanks for sharing - was not aware of this version !! Best, Mahesh.,
I see only
the applied numerals version in quick google search, I don’t find an enamel one at alll. Just one pic shows a enamel dial only @ 33mm. Best, Mahesh.,
I have found some additional pictures...
One - low resolution - of the watch in a YG case, and some more from this WG one... But beyond that it's been a blank.
Ok perfect 😉
Funny because I already made a deal with this seller. Best wishes Alkiro
Now I understand :)
First thought you made a deal with this seller for this watch Speaking of your LUC, which one was it? Any pictures? 👍🏻
No it was for something else 😊
Here two very bad shots of my former 16/1860 (I sold it through the Collectors Market here). Best wishes Alkiro ...
"Unusual" watch for L.U.C XP
KMII, I am checking with Chopard because that is an unusual looking watch. The reference number does not match the reported model of watch. The numerals are different from the ones I have seen before. The logo font is from a different production era than ...
The picture is perhaps not ideal...
No seconds hand, just two regular dauphine hands like other XPs. The XPs generally have a solid caseback - the Boutique told me some time ago that one could only get a display one on special order. Looking forward to what Chopard answers! Thanks in advanc...
Looking forward to what Melvyn finds out :)
According to the seller the rarest version of the XP...
CHOPARD Reply: No such watch but don't panic!
Chopard Manufacture Reply "To my knowledge, the only L.U.C watch with a grand feu enamel dial is the L.U.C Tourbillon 161970-5001. There is no L.U.C XP with grand feu enamel dial. Our reference 161902-1005 watch has a white "cold enamel' or lacquer dial."...
Thanks for finding out...
So if I understand correctly the watch is bona fide but just cold rather than hot enamel? Once again, thanks for your help!
