Love the depth of the dial!
Multi-level dials can make or break a piece IMO. Chopard has done a nice job by varying the depth in different areas.
I like the shape of the bezel though I'm not sure how I feel about the paired screws. Chopard is between a rock and a hard place on this issue.
AP has 8-screws and Hublot with 6. Odd numbers look weird. 4 is too few and more than 8 is too many. Hublot MDM tried 12 back in the day, but that was way too many. So where do you go from there?
Rare indeed

Dear kolosstt You're right. This is an forgotten reference an I don't know why Chopard hasn't bet on that piece with better advert campaign. It has nothing to envy to similar competitors (RO or GP Laureato, or Zenith El Primero...For example). That piece ...
