Trying to learn more about my new watch
Hi everyone,
I just recently picked this Mille Miglia up and I'm trying to learn more about its history. I can't seem to find much information online regarding these watches and their variations, so I turn to you scholars for assistance.
As far as my limited research has gotten, I believe it's from the year 2000 - denoted by the number 2000 on the 3 o'clock subdial. I also believe it's the first certified chronometer of the series (I could be wrong). What I'm a little confused about is the case back: there's a number on the sapphire crystal that is absent in other Ref. 8407 that I've seen. Is this a limited edition? Or just a numbered edition?
Thank you for reading and any insights into my newly purchased watch would be greatly appreciated 
P.S. Would be cool to see if there's a historical timeline of the Mille Miglia watches over the years. If anyone could point me in the right direction, that'd also be appreciated.

Happy to contribute!
This year’s Mille Miglia just concluded… I follow some participants who drove a vintage Ferrari on Instagram. Would love to do it one year… Anyway, to OP: if you like the scent of vanilla, you might want to find an OEM vanilla infused tire-pattern rubber ...
WOW!!
Thank you so much for that graphic - exactly what I was looking for!! The watch did come with the OEM rubber strap but it's much too long for me on my 6.2" wrist, even on the smallest hole. I would venture a guess that Chopard would have shorter straps av...
They do have a variety of lengths…
Fortunately for me I live near a Chopard service center and they can source whatever I need quickly and cost effectively. Let me know if you need help getting one!
Appreciate that!
I'll follow up with you in PM. On another note, do you have any insight on what the numbers mean on the back of the watch?
I had this exact watch a white back. It’s wonderful.
My model had a rubber strap that looked like tire treads. I still have the cufflinks that matched the strap. Enjoy. It’s a fun one to wear.
