You will have to ask Chopard if you have not the papers.
With papers, the COSC certificate indicates the date of the calibre tested and certified. So you will know roughly the date of manufacture then.
As for the reason for 2 Geneva Seal marks, I'm just guessing.. one is on the bridge (with gold-plate) stacking on top of the bottom plate (platine).
The Geneval Seal is related to aesthethic, it is logical to tag onto a major components of the movement ie. the platine instead of a bridge.

joe_lin, can you post pictures of your 1860? Does it have a hinged hunter back covering the display back movement? If it does, is the number at the 12:00 position on the case back surrounding the display back marked as 1860, or is it marked as 16/1860/1? ...
