Watch Info
Manufacturer: Chopard
Model: L.U.C XP Ultra-Thin
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 161902-1001
Year: N/A
Box: Yes
Papers: No
Accessories: Box Only. Includes Chopard presentation box.
Notes: The L.U.C XP is Chopard's most compelling argument for the Fleurier manufacture — a manually wound ultra-thin dress watch of exceptional refinement that wears at just 6.5mm on the wrist. The 161902-1001 in 18k white gold with a black dial is among the most versatile configurations in the XP lineup, pairing the cool restraint of white gold with a black dial that transitions effortlessly from formal to casual. Powered by the in-house Calibre L.U.C 96.17-L, the movement bears the Poinçon de Genève (Geneva Seal) — one of horology's most stringent quality certifications, requiring that both the movement and the casing be completed within the canton of Geneva. At 39.5mm, the XP occupies the sweet spot between vintage-inspired and contemporary proportions, wearing with an elegance that very few modern watches can match at any price point.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This example has been carefully worn and presents in excellent cosmetic condition throughout. The white gold case retains strong factory finishing and the black dial is pristine.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The black dial is flawless with no marks, discoloration, or imperfections. The applied indices and blued steel hands are in perfect condition. The sapphire crystal is mint and free of any chips or scratches.
Case & Bezel: The 39.5mm 18k white gold case retains its original alternating polished and satin finishing. The case shows light, honest surface marks consistent with careful use. The ultra-thin profile is sharp and well-preserved throughout.
Strap & Clasp: Fitted on its original Chopard strap in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. The clasp is clean and functions perfectly.

Why the L.U.C XP is Chopard's Most Refined Statement
The L.U.C XP exists in a rarefied category — a genuinely ultra-thin dress watch from a manufacture that produces its own movements, its own dials, and certifies its work to the highest independent standard in Swiss watchmaking. At 6.5mm, it achieves a wrist presence that no photograph can fully capture — the watch simply disappears against the wrist in the manner of only the finest Geneva dress pieces. The black dial configuration is the most versatile of the XP lineup, working equally well against a white shirt cuff or as a subdued counterpoint to formal dress.
In the current 2026 market, Geneva Seal certified ultra-thin white gold dress watches from genuine manufacture ateliers represent one of the most compelling value propositions in serious collecting. The L.U.C XP consistently trades at a significant discount to comparable complications from more aggressively marketed maisons — a gap that reflects brand awareness rather than any meaningful difference in quality or finishing. This box-only example in excellent condition represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a piece of genuine horological substance at a price that would not begin to approach a comparable Swiss manufacture dress watch from a more hyped name.
