What Makes the L.U.C Lunar One Special:

Launched as the flagship grand complication of Chopard’s elite L.U.C collection, the Lunar One represents the absolute pinnacle of independent Swiss watchmaking. Named in honor of brand founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard, every element of the L.U.C line is hand-finished and assembled within Chopard’s Fleurier workshops.

Reference 161927-9001 pairs a commanding 43mm 950 platinum case with a deep galvanic blue dial. Unlike standard calendar displays, the Lunar One features an astronomical orbital moon phase positioned at 6 o'clock. Rather than a simple disc rotating beneath an aperture, the moon revolves around the central axis of the sub-dial to mirror the sky above the Northern Hemisphere with exact scientific precision.

Beating inside is the manufacture Calibre L.U.C 96.13-L, equipped with Chopard's patented Twin technology utilizing two stacked barrels to achieve a 65-hour power reserve. Adorned with hand-chamfered bridges, Côtes de Genève striping, and a heavy 22k gold micro-rotor, the movement carries both COSC chronometer testing and the double-stamped Geneva Seal (Poinçon de Genève). Combining low-production platinum rarity with true high-complication horology, this 2019 complete set represents an incredible value proposition for the discerning collector.
