Pre-owned Chopard Watches

Who is Chopard?

Chopard is a name that sits among the very best watchmakers in history. The brand had a humble start in 1860 when it was owned and run by the Chopard family. They produced luxury pocket watches for the aristocracy and even royalty, including Tsar Nicholas III of Russia. However, the company was later bought by a German watch manufacturer who admired the intricacies and quality of Chopard watch mechanisms. Karl Scheufele III ran the company true to its founder, keeping production in the skilled hands of Swiss craftsmen.

Nowadays, Chopard watches still uphold the impeccable quality and finesse of the earlier designs. They are renowned for their style and glamour, and are worn by celebrities like Julia Roberts who favours their signature women’s watch, the Happy Diamonds.

Chopard Watch Models

Chopard has a range of many different styles and models. They include:

Chopard Mille Miglia

The brand’s entry-level watch model is the Mille Miglia. But the slightly lower price does not mean that the watch’s quality is any lower. In fact, the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph is the perfect blend of automotive and watchmaking design. Its black dial, case back, and rubber strap bear resemblance to a Dunlop tyre tread used in the 1960s, 1000 mile Mille Miglia rally.

Chopard Elton John Watch

Chopard also partnered with Elton John to bring a range of models in the Chopard Elton John Watch Collection in support of the AIDS foundation. This range combines the quality of Chopard watches with Elton’s extravagance and love of diamonds.

Chopard Alpine Eagle

The Chopard Alpine Eagle model is a modern interpretation of the very first watch the company made under its German owner, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele. Known as the St Moritz, the original design shares the same ultra-resistant, light-reflecting metal and eagle-inspired designs. The Chopard Alpine Eagle movement is also something special, using four automatic movements that were exclusively developed by Chopard for the St Moritz.

Chopard Happy Diamonds Watch

In the 1970s, Chopard revolutionized feminine watches with its Happy Diamonds watches. The Chopard Happy Diamonds range features moving diamonds within its watch faces, necklaces, and bracelets. Fronted by Julia Roberts, the range embodies female empowerment that sparked in the 1970s.

Chopard Happy Sport

Following the Happy Diamonds range in 1976, Chopard launched Happy Sport range in 1993. Chopard Happy Sport watches feature diamonds as well as a stainless steel case, which is a design that had never been done before.

Chopard Watches for Women and Men

Some Chopard watch models are perfect for a more feminine feel, like the Happy Diamonds Chopard ladies watch. With fine lines, a smaller watch face, and sparkling diamonds, this model is perfect for women.

However, Chopard watches for men are also available. Models in the Alpine Eagle range are certainly more of a Chopard men’s watch. They feature blue watch faces and stainless steel straps for a more masculine design.

What Materials Are Chopard Watches Made From?

The Chopard Happy Diamond range is one of the most iconic because of its innovative use of diamonds in the design of a timepiece. However, Chopard also incorporates other luxury materials into its watches, including 201-carat gold and titanium. Not only are the materials used in Chopard watches of the highest quality, but the company also uses responsibly sourced materials.

For example, the Alpine Eagle range of Chopard men’s gold watches uses 100% sustainable gold from 2018. Similarly, a Chopard diamond watch, like models in the Happy Diamond ranges, are sourced only from countries and regions that have strictly implemented the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for diamond mining. Having a KPCS certificate means that Chopard’s watches only use conflict-free diamonds.

Different Colours of Chopard Watches

As well as the different materials Chopard uses across its luxury watch models, there are also a plethora of different colours available.

Whether it’s a burst of colour in the dial design, or a bold statement strap, there are different colour options for different watch models.

There is the option for a Chopard Mille Miglia white dial or a Chopard blue diamond or Chopard Happy Sport green. And depending on the style and occasion, you can choose to have different watch straps in different colours too.

Chopard Watch Straps & Bracelet Options

To change the look and feel of your Chopard watch, you can mix and match accessories. Chopard watch straps are model specific but can be purchased separately to change its style.

For example, the Chopard Mille Miglia strap can be changed to leather or stainless steel. So you can go from a practical Chopard Mille Miglia steel bracelet in the day and a sleek leather strap in the evening.

Chopard Watch Prices

Depending on the material you choose for your watch and strap, your Chopard watch could cost you anywhere from £4000 to £44000. Chopard are renowned for crafting watches of the highest quality, using sustainably sourced materials and gems. So, it is unsurprising that Chopard watch prices are high. In fact, Chopard’s most expensive watch is the Chopard 201 carat watch worth $25 million. Made in 2000, the watch is covered in 874 high-grade diamonds that are all of different colors and sizes.

Buying New or Pre-owned Chopard Watches

Chopard watches are a good investment, particularly special editions and rare models, as they have a high resale value.

However, modern pre-owned Chopard watches can be bought for less. For a pre-owned Chopard Mille Miglia, expect to pay somewhere in the region of £6000. Or, for a used Chopard Happy Diamonds watch, you will likely pay anywhere between £1000 to £40000 depending on the diamonds used in the design.
