Passion, performance, and precision, these are the defining traits shared by both high-end watchmaking and automotive engineering. Chopard’s Mille Miglia collection draws inspiration from this dynamic synergy, embodying the spirit of la corsa più bella del mondo - “the most beautiful race in the world.” The legendary Mille Miglia was a grueling open-road endurance race held across Italy from 1927 to 1957, attracting the most celebrated names in motor racing history as they battled across 1,000 miles from Brescia.
Since 1988, Chopard has served as the official timekeeper and principal sponsor of the modern Mille Miglia rally. This enduring partnership has given birth to a line of sport watches that seamlessly blend mechanical precision with a deep-rooted passion for motorsport heritage.
The present example is offered in beautiful condition and represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a timepiece that effortlessly merges masculine elegance with the purposeful design and ergonomics of racing instrumentation.
