Chopard Bangle Diamonds 18k
This is a truly spectacular piece from the Chopard archives. While most watches are functional instruments, this 1981 example is a pure jewel that also happens to tell the time. A rare find at AWCO.
Chopard Bangle Diamonds: A Sculpture of Gold and Light.
Some watches transcend their practical use and become pure art. This 1981 Chopard Bangle is the ultimate proof. Since the Scheufele family took over the helm at Chopard in 1963, the Swiss house has been synonymous with groundbreaking creativity. This particular piece is a rare reminder of those golden years of expression.
Its most striking feature is the rigid, open cuff bangle. Its shape evokes a stylized snake or elegant U-shaped curves that gracefully drape around the wrist. Unlike more common designs with leather straps, this bangle is an integral part of the piece, crafted entirely from 18k yellow gold.
Chopard enjoys worldwide fame for its mastery of gemstones, and this is immediately evident in this watch:
The setting: The cuff is lavishly set with countless small, flawless diamonds that catch the light with every movement of the wrist.
Understated dial: To focus all attention on the unique design and the diamonds, the dial is deliberately minimalist. The champagne-colored dial with the “Chopard Geneve” logo exudes a timeless, understated elegance.
While the influences of the iconic Happy Diamonds aesthetic are visible, this particular design with the snake-like bangle is extremely rare. It is most likely a custom-made piece or part of a very limited vintage collection. This makes it not only a beautiful piece for a gala or dinner, but also a serious collector’s item for enthusiasts.
