Chopard Mille Miglia Ltd. Edition #100/1000 (Ref. 16816-3001)

Through the release of their famous Mille Miglia collection, Chopard sought to celebrate the mechanical similarities between automotive engineering and watchmaking. The legendary Mille Miglia was an open road race across Italy taking place between 1927 and 1957. With many famous faces in motorsports taking part, the fierce competition along the 1000 miles from Brescia remains a poignant memory in the racing world. Commemorative editions of the Mille Miglia are held today- featuring a pool of history's finest and most exceptional racing cars. Chopard's active support of the Mille Miglia as their main sponsor and official timekeeper since 1988 inspired the brand to release a collection of precision sports watches that many consider their very best. This limited edition model from 2014 was created in a limited quantity of just 1000 pieces. While retaining a classic aesthetic, this stainless steel model incorporates a trio of racing red sub dials as a dynamic separation from the standard model. It is presented on a brown alligator rally strap with an alternate calskin strap enclosed. This example comes alongside its original packaging, booklets and guarantee dated 13/06/2014. Notably, this model's issue number is #100/1000 - increasingly this watch's desirability and exclusivity. A very special reference with stories to tell, this Mille Miglia limited edition watch is the perfect driving companion.
