It’s 1986 chopard L.U.C 18k YG ultra thin automatic

Without picure of the movement it is really difficult. Could be a UG Polerouter inside, but also F. Piquet 9´´´. All speculations, but could be original, the style is matching with 1986.

I dont know L.U.C., i think they call watches with their own movements so, and the own movements starts 1996.

Thank you

Those being the initials of the founder Looks OK I guess but one would really need to open the case - just in case

That they did :)
