Chopard Grand Prix De Monaco Historique

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, 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, a rose gold screw-down crown signed with a steering wheel insignia. The white guilloche dial features a set of raised indices, a matching rose gold ‘dauphine’ handset, a date at 3 o’clock and the ‘Monaco Historique’ wordmark adjacent to the date window. 

It’s appropriately fitted to a signed 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 watch form, man do we love it, and we’re sure you will too.

Established in 1860 in Solvilier, Switzerland, Chopard has been making watches and jewelry for over 160 years, with clients that include Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Known for its “Happy Diamond” watch in which diamonds appear to float on the dial, the brand boasts its own movement manufacture in Fleurier and a headquarters in Geneva.

If you’re interested in cars, you probably know Chopard for its longtime sponsorship of the famed Mille Miglia race, with which it has been associated since 1988. It’s also the official timekeeper of the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco, a title it has held since 2002.

Today, Chopard’s Alpine Eagle — based upon the St. Moritz watch from the 1980s — sits alongside the likes of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus in the “luxury sports watch” category, proving that the maison is more than just a purveyor of fine jewelry, but also a first-class watchmaker.
