The Black Muse.

It's Friday night and to switch things up, you and your loved one decide to wind down to the flicker of an old black-and-white film. There’s something magnetic about the way those actors conveyed emotion, the elegance in their understated gestures, the intensity of each glance. It’s a reminder that true allure needs no embellishment. This Chopard Onyx bracelet watch captures that same spirit: a piece that speaks volumes in silence, embodying a timeless elegance that draws you in, effortlessly.

This piece hails from the 1970s, a pivotal era for Chopard when they embraced a daring new style defined by rich materials and bold shapes. In creating this bracelet watch, Chopard used a monochromatic approach - deep black onyx paired with 18K white gold that flows seamlessly from case to bracelet, blurring the line between timepiece and jewelry. Each onyx stone is individually shaped and set into the gadroon-style links, an intricate process that captures the mastery of the brand's craftsmanship.

This reference is exceptionally rare; finding an onyx variant in such preserved condition is a remarkable feat given the stone’s natural fragility. While a similar model featuring tiger eye stone appeared at a Monocle Group Auction, no other model has surfaced since—making this watch a remarkable opportunity for the discerning collector.

"This timepiece embodies the boldness of Chopard's revival"

The minimalist black dial, unmarked by minute or second markers, highlights the clean, elegant lines of the sharp dauphine hands, letting the onyx’s depth take center stage. Beneath its sleek exterior lies a manually wound movement, honoring the Swiss tradition of precise engineering.

With a bracelet adjustable to two positions, this watch can comfortably fit wrists up to 6.75 inches (17 cm) in circumference, and it arrives complete with its original box and an April 2018 service card from Chopard at Bucherer.

For those who understand the beauty of understatement, this Chopard Onyx is more than a watch; it’s a piece of history, a quiet muse, and a reminder to find elegance in life’s simplest moments, like an evening spent with a classic film.

The watch is in overall excellent condition.

The onyx dial is pristine with no cracks or blemishes. The same is true with the onyx gadroon links.

The bracelet itself has little to no stretch.

The case lines are sharp and the case back features sharp serial engravings.

The hands show no oxidation and the crystal is free from any distractions.
