The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique is a biannual event that brings together drivers and enthusiasts of historical cars to witness what vintage race cars were born to do — race.
Taking place at the very same circuit as the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix since 1997, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique is a celebration of speed, sound and beauty. With a deep connection to motorsport that dates back to the Mille Miglia, it was only natural that Chopard was chosen as a sponsor and official timekeeper for the growing event.
To commemorate the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, Chopard unveiled several models made to go hard and fast — or as we say, to never lift.
This particular Chopard features a 45mm two-tone case comprised of titanium and rose gold and is fitted with a sapphire crystal. The case features a fixed timing bezel and a rose gold screw-down crown signed with a steering wheel insignia. The white guilloché dial features an outer minute track, a set of applied, luminous indices, a matching rose gold ‘sword’ handset, a date at 3 o’clock and the ‘Monaco Historique’ wordmark adjacent to the date window.
Powered by an automatic, COSC-certified movement, it's appropriately fitted to a signed brown rallye-style leather strap equipped with a signed titanium pin buckle.
There’s no question that cars and watches go together. And when they come together in a timepiece such as this, man do we love it — and we’re sure you will, too!
