Chopard Mille Miglia 8954 - "Alpha Romeo" Limited Edition - SOLD
Created in 1927 by two aristocrats so as to compensate for the loss of the Italian Grand Prix by their hometown of Brescia, the Mille Miglia took the original option of having racing cars compete on roads rather than tracks. Discontinued in 1957 for safety reasons, it was revived 20 years later under the name Mille Miglia Storica and became the world’s most prestigious classic car endurance race. The Mille Miglia line comprises the Mille Miglia Classic models picking up the aesthetic codes of the oldest cars having taken part in the race (1927-1940), and the Mille Miglia GTS watches reinterpreting the design features of the cars from the subsequent period (1941-1957). Chopard displays its sporting spirit by presenting an annual limited edition to mark the latest edition of the race. Year after year, the inimitable design of Mille Miglia watches and the brand’s ability to renew the collection without ever betraying it, contribute to making these models authentic grand classics.

This is a very cool sports watch and will appeal to motor racing enthusiasts! 50m water resistance chronometer with round button chronograph, registers, tachometer bezel, and date. Presented on a black rubber Chopard "tire tread" rubber strap with a stainless steel Chopard tang deployment buckle. The dial, case and movement are signed.
