The Chopard Grand Prix De Monaco Historique 2016 Race Edition is limited to 600 pieces
The piston-inspired chronograph pushers are sophisticated and so is the tachymeter bezel and three-register 12-hour chronograph display. Although all the Chopard G.P.M.H. editions are largely similar this new one is more refined. But we are still a fan of the bold yellow/black scheme used at the previous edition. The rose gold version of the Chopard Grand Prix De Monaco Historique 2016 Race Edition is the more classic one, the titanium with steel version looks more modern with retro hints, especially with the fabric strap in complementary colors.
But to be a real racing driver wear the ones with leather strap (black barenia calfskin). Its perforations saves you weight in your car which makes you go faster. Lots faster.
