This is a Chopard Classique series watch, reference number 16/1168, and its serial number has been verified 100% original. This manual-wind watch features an 18k yellow gold case, eighteen jewel movement, sapphire crystal front and back, and a brand new crocodile strap. The case does show very minimal wear. While it is not in NIB condition, this is a fine watch that should be worn rather than left to sit in its box. It is in excellent working condition. I received this as part of an estate of a family member, so unfortunately the box and papers were not available.
Edit: I was able to contact Chopard for some more information today. The serial number dates the production of the watch to 1996. This particular model in 18k Yellow Gold with small seconds, white dial with Roman numerals, mechanical movement and sapphire crystal front and back was re-released in 2008 in rose gold. Its current retail value, according to Chopard, is $6,900.
I am looking to sell quickly, so I am willing to entertain reasonable offers.
Thank you
