Chopard vintage cocktail watch

The story

The Chopard vintage cocktail watch ref. 5029 brings a small, precious-metal format to the wrist, with a design centred on proportion rather than scale. Its Chopard Caliber 21 measures just 1.73 mm in thickness, a discreet technical detail behind its dress character. The movement and jewellery-like presentation offer two different reasons to look more closely. Dating to circa 1970–1980, this example pairs a 26 × 32 mm 18K yellow-gold case with a champagne dial and an 18K yellow-gold mesh bracelet. Its prestige diamond setting comprises 36 hand-set, brilliant-cut diamonds of Top Wesselton quality, F–G colour, totalling approximately 0.90–1.00 carat. Set in white gold to enhance their brilliance, they bring a distinct contrast to the warmer tones of the case and dial. The mesh adds texture to this coherent palette. Imagine the gold catching the light at a dinner table: a small presence on the wrist, with enough detail to reward a quiet glance. It is offered in very good condition. Accompanied by its box, this Chopard suits a collector drawn to vintage cocktail watches or a wearer seeking a more intimate expression of gold. A companion for evenings worth remembering, ready to carry memories of your own. Available to view by appointment.
