Points of Mention
This watch is sold as watch only and therefore comes without its Chopard box and paperwork. The watch has had a fresh battery fitted and comes paired with a 19mm well-suited vintage-style leather strap. The watch is from Circa the early 1980s and is sold in worn condition, as you can see. A full case refurb can be provided at an additional cost on request. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

The Watch
Here we have a classic 1980s Chopard Geneve Step Case 18ct Gold Dress Watch 2147 with an elegant 31mm 18ct yellow gold octagonal stepped case. Its slim profile leads to a lug-to-lug length of 32mm, and a case thickness of just 5.5mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side is a recessed crown with an attractive black cabochon. The stepped contours of the case add interest and lead the eye towards the flat, slightly raised octagonal crystal above a champagne minimalist dial. A large Roman numeral for 12 sits above the decorative sword hands in the centre, Chopard motif is found at 6 o’clock, completing this sophisticated two-hand dress watch. On the reverse is a snap-off case back engraved with the details of the watch and the Swiss hallmark inside a quality quartz movement. The watch comes paired with a 19mm well-suited vintage-style leather strap.
Personal Note
The incredible team recently sold this watch over at Goldammer and it has now found itself here in London with us and I could not be happier. This Chopard features the most striking stepped case in 18ct gold and coming in at 31mm by 32mm it wears beautifully on the wrist. The simple, yet bold dial has the exploded "XII" and features only 2 hands, all powered by a swiss quartz movement. I've paired it on a suede strap that tones the watch right down to be worn in a casual situation, but throw it on a black strap, you've got yourself the perfect dress watch. Snap this gem up and add it to your collection whilst you can!
