This week’s Cannes Film Festival is the 21st consecutive year at which Chopard has been an official partner, and the brand has released a limited edition of its L.U.C XPS called the Azur, a reference to the colour of the Mediterranean on the French Riviera that also gives the watch its dial colour.
There will be ten made of the watch, which houses the chronometer-certified L.U.C 96.01-L movement in a slim 40mm 18ct white gold case.
Chopard calls it the ultimate red carpet timepiece.
Its azure blue hand-guillochéd dial is lit up by baguette-cut hour-markers, swept over by Dauphine-type hands while the movement, visible through a crystal case back, shows the Poincon de Geneve hallmark of quality and a 22ct gold micro rotor.
