  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched in 2019, the Alpine Eagle is Chopard’s own unique interpretation of the luxury sports watch, inspired by the grace of the eagle and the majesty of the Alps. The Alpine Eagle was first introduced in stainless steel with a robust design featuring an integrated bracelet, an angular case and a rounded bezel with eight screws.

    The present pink gold Alpine Eagle is a distinctive piece infused with a unique aura of splendour, distinguished by the exquisite gold dial set with 236 pavé diamonds, and a tantalising sapphire-set bezel with 36 rainbow sapphires, bringing together Chopard’s artisanal expertise and craftsmanship in both haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie. Elevating its charm, the dial features luminous-filled applied gold Roman numerals that perfectly complements the sparkling diamonds and sapphires. Fitted with the signature Alpine Eagle bracelet, the timepiece sits comfortably and exerts a pleasant weight on the wrist. Powered by the automatic calibre 01.01-C, the watch beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a hefty 60 hours of power reserve.

    Preserved in impressive condition, the present specimen still has the original factory sticker on the sapphire case back and partial factory stickers on the upper right lug. Further accompanied by its complete set of accessories, the present Rainbow Chopard Alpine Eagle in pink gold is a marvellous timepiece perfect for a glamourous night out and should not be missed by the discerning collectors.

  • Artist Biography

    Chopard

    Swiss • 1860

    At 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.
