Chopard - Kutchinsky Dual Time | 18k Gold | Rare White Dial
There are timepieces, and then there are objects so steeped in history that they end up becoming works of art. This Chopard Dual Time in 18k yellow gold is one such icon with the much rarer white dial and Kutchinsky designed case.
This story begins in the 1970s, a golden age of watchmaking, when brands like Cartier and Piaget dominated the stage with opulent designs and technical prowess. Chopard, a quiet yet formidable force, crafted timepieces that rivaled these titans in complexity and beauty. And yet, it was always a connoisseur's secret, a brand that flew under the radar despite its undeniable genius.
The Reference 2087 is a beautiful example of this quiet brilliance. While most of Chopard’s yellow gold models from this era featured gold dials, this example boasts a white dial that is shockingly distinctive. The contrast between the radiant gold case and the crisp white face is breathtaking, a design choice that feels deliberate. It is a watch that commands attention but does so with an understated elegance; a hallmark of Chopard’s philosophy.
The case, designed by Kutchinsky, adds another layer of intrigue. Known as the "jeweler's jeweler", Kutchinsky was synonymous with luxury in mid-20th century London, crafting exquisite creations for royalty and the elite.
In a world where the familiar names often overshadow the exceptional, this Chopard Dual Time 2087 is a hidden gem, a reminder of the artistry that can sometimes define true horology.
