About This Watch
The Chopard L.U.C Perpetual Calendar is one of the most elegant and well-proportioned perpetual calendars available, housing the caliber L.U.C 96.13-L with Chopard's patented Twin barrel technology. The perpetual calendar mechanism tracks day, date, month, moon phase, and leap year, automatically accounting for months of varying lengths until 2100. The silver guilloché dial, created using traditional engine-turning techniques, provides a richly textured surface that enhances the legibility of the calendar displays. The layout places day and month in twin apertures, date by central hand, moon phase at 6, and a 24-hour indicator. The 43mm rose gold case accommodates the complex dial with excellent legibility. The movement is certified by both COSC and the Poinçon de Genève (Geneva Seal), confirming both chronometric precision and aesthetic excellence. Through the caseback, the hand-decorated movement displays Côtes de Genève, beveled edges, and the distinctive Chopard rotor. The L.U.C Perpetual Calendar offers genuine grande complication quality at a price that significantly undercuts comparable perpetual calendars from the Big Three.
