This highly unusual Chopard timepiece uses turquoise not only for its dial, but most interestingly to decorate the bezel. The stones are randomly organised around two rows, creating a unique and eye-catching effect.


The 1970's is a golden era for lady's watches, with innovating designs and unconventional choices of materials. This present lot, further enhanced by its woven gold bracelet, is a most attractive example of that period.
