With the classic L.U.C Quattro, Chopard combines the foundations of traditional fine watchmaking. The satin-finished dial comes in a special grey-green hue reminiscent of a private gentleman’s club and formal elegance, but has some quirky details, including the satin-finished dial, Arabic numerals at 3 and 9 o’clock, And Super-LumiNova-Fusee-type coated Dauphine hands. Caliber L.U.C 98.01-L The calibre has two stacked barrels that provide an amazing power reserve of 216 hours (9 days). Despite this Quattro mainspring power, the movement is still ultra-thin, with the case only 8.84mm thick. Limited to 50 pieces in 18k white gold, the case is 43mm in diameter. It is manufactured according to Poinçon de Genève standards.
