CHOPARD (Swiss) Ref. 16/1013 18k Solid Gold Dress Watch – Manual-Wind 17j Peseux Cal. 7001

A classy example of this 18k gold dress watch by Chopard (Swiss) with a lovely and logoed gold dial that it has been professionally inspected by Localtime and is ready to wear or join your collection. The 18k solid gold case (32mm or 33mm counting the crown at 3h) measures 37mm L2L, has a super thin thickness of 5.50mm and has been professionally cleaned and lightly polished, to maintain its original shine. It is in a lovely condition and is a very classy looker on the wrist. The dial is a nice example of a logoed execution and takes different colours hues depending on the light and angle. It is carrying a manual-wind Peseux Cal. 7001 with 17j. It is wearing one of my own Poletto Cinturini (Italy) Galapagos handmade iguana straps in brown colour that matches the watch nicely and gives it a fresh, classy look. You can see the line of these lovely straps (which come in more colours and sizes)  in the last photo and they are also sold separately in the store, here.

As with all the watches we handle in-house, the listed buy-it-now price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
