In celebration of the partnership with Porsche Motorsport team, Chopard has produced a number of limited editions of the Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 since 2014.
They have usually been editions of between 100 and 919 pieces.

Recently, Chopard announced a special piece unique for the ONLY Watch 2017 and it got me thinking.
Here is my Trivial Pursuit question: Which is the most limited edition of Superfast Porsche 919 chronographs?
Of course, we don't count special commissions and the Chopard ONLY Watch 2017 because it is not even a chronograph.
The original 2014 Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition was issued as 919 pieces, obviously.

The 2015 Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Jacky Ickx Edition was limited to 100 pieces.

Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Victory Edition
In 2016, Chopard presented a Superfast model in a Very Limited series dedicated to the victory of the Porsche Motorsport team in the 2015 World Endurance Championship.
Mr Karl-Friedrich Scheufele with Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Victory Edition
The German racing team for which Chopard has been serving as Official Timing Partner since 2014, won its 17th Le Mans title, marking a triumphant return to endurance competition. (This year, Porsche clinched their 19th Overall Victory at Le Mans)
This trophy was won at the wheel of an exceptional car – the Porsche 919 Hybrid – from which, the Superfast Porsche Motorsport 919 - Victory Edition reprises the design codes.
Issued in a 17-piece limited edition, the COSC chronometer-certified chronograph celebrates this victorious partnership.
It is so rare that I have never seen one in-the-wild.
I imagine that the whole edition could have been taken up by just the members of the Porsche and Chopard racing team...

... when the model came out. Not sure about today. However, I would also answer your question differently, even though not more correctly. All but the black edition are individually numbered watches with engraving on their caseback. Thinking of that, pieces like mine only exists in an edition of 1. How many times in life would you find a watch that carries your birthday from factory stock design? Still consider myself lucky that I got it. Cheers Kolosstt P.S. Chopard only watch 2015 was a 919 ch
Indeed, you are correct. The Chopard ONLY Watch 2015 was also a Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 style but in Titanium case. Chopard ONLY Watch 2015 Chopard ONLY Watch 2015 Regards, MTF
