Anyone seen the Chopard LUC XP 16/1902 with an enamel dial?

 
 By: KMII : October 18th, 2017-12:59
This is a watch that I have seen online recently but have not been able to locate in a Boutique just yet. Admittedly not tried at many so far. 

It's an XP with a grand feu enamel dial and Roman numerals as opposed to applied numerals and hour markers of the more common ones. 

Anyone seen one of these live?



Picture from: eBay

Oh dear...

the applied numerals version in quick google search, I don’t find an enamel one at alll.

Just one pic shows a enamel dial only @ 33mm.


Best,
Mahesh.,

I have found some additional pictures...

One - low resolution - of the watch in a YG case, and some more from this WG one...

But beyond that it's been a blank.

Too bad, we don't have a better picture of this watch. Looks nice, but with a Red XII it would have been even nicer. [nt]

A red 12 would definitely make it more playful. 👍🏻

If you check Chrono24, one is for sale in Germany. Maybe you’ll find in the ad few more info

That's how I found it in the first place wink

Thanks Alkiro

Ok perfect 😉

Funny because I already made a deal with this seller.

Your first Chopard?

Congratulations 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I already owned a Chopard L.U.C and if I had to buy a new one it won’t be this one 😉

Now I understand :)

First thought you made a deal with this seller for this watch smile Speaking of your LUC, which one was it? Any pictures? 👍🏻

No it was for something else 😊

Here two very bad shots of my former 16/1860 (I sold it through the Collectors Market here).

Alkiro

Very cool!

Curious if another LUC is in the cards...?

I have something in mind but nothing really serious for the moment 😉

I see :)

Then keeping my fingers crossed!

The main “brake” on this timepiece is the lack of original papers ☹️

That is an issue...

Especially if you cannot get an extract from the archives...

I can order an extract of the archives but it’s not the same thing than original papers for me. Especially when the watch is modern

"Unusual" watch for L.U.C XP

 
 By: MTF : October 18th, 2017-15:02

KMII,


I am checking with Chopard because that is an unusual looking watch.

The reference number does not match the reported model of watch.

The numerals are different from the ones I have seen before.

The logo font is from a different production era than the Roman numerals' font and shape of hands.

The crucial question is whether it has a closed or see-through case back.

Finally, unless it was a special order, I do not know of a grand feu enamel dial for any L.U.C XP watch.

The photo is unclear if a third hand is overlapping the hour hand. If it is a central seconds hand, it is not an L.U.C XP or XPS.

Conversely, L.U.C 1937 with central seconds hand has a date display.

If there are only two hands, then one is a dauphine shape and the other is a distorted dauphine fusee shape; which are also incongruous.....


Regards,
MTF

The picture is perhaps not ideal...

 
 By: KMII : October 19th, 2017-11:18
No seconds hand, just two regular dauphine hands like other XPs. The XPs generally have a solid caseback - the Boutique told me some time ago that one could only get a display one on special order.

Looking forward to what Chopard answers! Thanks in advance, Melvyn smile

+1! [nt]
