Description

Rarely encountered in its automatic configuration, this Chopard St. Moritz reference 8185 embodies the refined spirit of 1990s luxury sports watches. Its integrated steel bracelet gives the 32 mm case an elegant yet robust presence on the wrist, wearing larger than its dimensions suggest.

The bright white dial is in immaculate condition, providing a striking contrast to the polished steel case. The applied indices and sharp dauphine-style hands enhance readability while reflecting Chopard’s attention to timeless details. The case and bracelet remain razor-sharp, free of stretch, and preserve the watch’s crisp geometry.

Particularly noteworthy is the condition of the clasp: the Chopard logo is perfectly preserved, alongside deeply intact engravings on the caseback, attesting to the watch’s careful preservation over the decades.

Powered by an automatic movement based on the renowned Frederic Piguet caliber, this St. Moritz offers mechanical reliability and horological pedigree. It comes with a 6-month mechanical warranty, ensuring confidence in its performance.

Although sold without box or papers, this example represents an opportunity to acquire a vintage Chopard in exceptional condition. Its understated charm and versatile sizing make it perfectly suited for daily wear, fitting wrists up to 18 cm with comfort and style.
