This petite cocktail watch is a white gold and mother-of-pearl variation of last year’s model, which had a malachite dial. It contains the small-scale caliber 10.01-C, which keeps the profile to a compact 26 mm width and 9 mm thickness. The bezel is set with generously sized diamonds totaling 2.20 carats which are crown-set, meaning that since the pavilion is exposed, more light can enter the gems and reflect outward from the table for extra brilliance. The V-shaped prongs, which can be seen from the side, are meant to evoke lacework. The 1970s-inspired bark motif on the gold bracelet was hand engraved using a proprietary technique established by Chopard’s jewelry workshops in the 1960s.
