Chopard St. Moritz 8042

Chopard St. Moritz Triple Calendar Moonphase Gold/Steel Full Set Ref. 8042 from 1980s

Presenting an exceptionally rare and highly collectible Chopard St. Moritz Triple Calendar Moonphase Ref. 8042 from the 1980s—one of the most complicated and elusive executions within the St. Moritz line. Offered as a full set with original box, papers (including service invoice), and warranty card, this piece represents a true collector’s dream. The St. Moritz collection is celebrated for its distinctive integrated design and sporty-luxury aesthetic, but examples featuring full calendar complications with moonphase are extraordinarily scarce. Powered by the renowned Valjoux 89 manual-winding calibre, this watch embodies classic Swiss watchmaking at its most elegant and mechanically engaging. Key Features & Highlights Dial Sophisticated triple calendar layout with exceptional balance Apertures displaying day and month Central pointer date hand indicating the date around the dial Moonphase complication positioned at 6 o’clock Elegant and highly legible design, combining functionality with refinement Case 32 mm stainless steel and yellow gold case Signature St. Moritz design with integrated construction Well-proportioned and versatile size, suitable for both formal and daily wear Sapphire crystal in spotless condition Original unsigned crown, correct for the period Bracelet Integrated gold and steel bracelet, iconic to the St. Moritz line Approx. 18.5 cm length, offering excellent wearability Seamless design that enhances the watch’s sporty yet luxurious character Movement Manual-winding Valjoux 89 calibre Classic triple calendar movement with moonphase—highly regarded among collectors Watch currently undergoing service, expected completion end of April A historically important and mechanically rich calibre Why This Example Stands Out Among vintage Chopard St. Moritz models, the triple calendar moonphase variant is one of the rarest and most desirable configurations. The combination of a full calendar complication with moonphase—paired with the distinctive St. Moritz case and bracelet—creates a piece that is both technically impressive and visually unique. Its full set offering, including box, papers, service invoice, and warranty card, further enhances its collectibility. The overall condition is described as well preserved, with a spotless crystal and strong original components, making it an increasingly difficult example to source in today’s market.
