This Chopard Imperiale Chronograph wristwatch, reference 1215, is crafted from 18K white gold and features a luxurious design accented with diamonds. The watch houses a jewelled quartz movement and includes chronograph functions, presented with a silvered dial.
The dial layout includes applied polished dot hour markers, a black outer 1/5th second track, and three subsidiary dials located at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour recording, respectively. A date aperture is positioned between the 4 and 5 o'clock markers. The timepiece features polished dagger-style hands and a center chronograph hand. The case is round with a brushed and polished finish, secured by eight screws on the case back.
It is distinguished by a diamond-set bezel, cabochon-set crown, and distinctive t-bar lugs. The watch is presented on a red Chopard alligator leather strap with an 18K white gold signed buckle. The case, dial, and movement are signed by Chopard. The watch has a diameter of 36mm and includes its original box, documentation, and a spare blue alligator strap.
