Releasing the Imperiale collection in 1994, the feminine design pays homage to traditional royal embroidery and includes versions featuring diamonds, amethysts and pink quartz. A major success since its initial launch, the Imperiale collection quickly became a flagship for the firm.
The present Chopard Imperiale is perhaps one of the firm's most prestigious iterations, as it features a full diamond setting for the case and bracelet composed of trapeze, square and briolette-cut diamonds. Using extremely high-quality VVS diamonds, the diamonds are set using an infinity style setting that displays the full beauty of the diamonds seamlessly. With a total carat weight of 40.6 carats, the present timepiece is with a doubt a bedazzled gem of the highest standards of high jewellery timepieces made by Chopard. Offered in excellent overall condition with its complete set of accessories, the present Choaprd Imperiale is one not to be missed by the discerned collector to wear for an extravagant night out.
Chopard
Swiss | 1860At the age of 24, Louis-Ulysse Chopard started his company L.U.C. Chopard in Sonviller, Switzerland. Since the brand's inception in 1860, Chopard understood the need for thin and accurate pocket watches to be functional for daily wear. The brand gained world recognition in 1912 after Tsar Nicolas II became a client.
Following Louis-Ulysse's death in 1915, his sons Paul-Louis and Paul André took over the business and moved their headquarters to La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1963, the company was taken over by Karl Scheufele, who remains the brand's owner. Arguably Chopard's most recognizable design, the "Happy" line, was inspired by Scheufele's daughter Caroline. In 1996, his son Karl-Friedrich established Chopard as a manufacturer of its own range of in-house movements under the name L.U.C., creating groundbreaking, exquisitely finished watches that have earned the brand worldwide acclaim.
