It's a very nice watch, but ultimately can be very expensive from many perspectives.
Outside of the large case, the enamel dial, the watch is a two-hand watch with one hand changed as an hour jumping display. While a jumping hour is innovative, it's not something I feel justifies a major increase in price. So, I definitely see some people complaining about the price tag. There are plenty of other beautiful watches in this price range, and in this price range, many of those watches have other additional complications. I didn't know they made a black-dialed platinum-cased variant. Your photo seems to suggest a white gold cased watch (AU 750). I was offered a white gold black-dialed watch with an amazing serial number by my local Chopard boutique.
Overall, it's a very nice watch. And from another perspective, it isn't that expensive. If you compare the quality level, this is the equivalent to Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. Those brands would charge about the same for such a watch with its large case, movement, and an email dial.
"Built from a 18 Kt rose gold plate, the dial is 100 % enamel: Enamel white grand feu for the dial itself, black enamel for the minute ring and indices. "
Did you mean the enamel dial has both white and black enamel? I thought it was all white enamel with the numbers printed on? That's not the case?
Thank you Amanico for the interesting retrospective of this watch!
A view on the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25.
Unveiled in 2021, this is a watch I wanted to see in real life for quite some time. It took me two years to do that. The Chopard LUC Quattro Spirit 25 celebrates the 25th birthday of the eponymous manufacture, and it does it in an elegant way. Chopard dec...

Great review of a spectacular piece, Nico!
You and I typically prefer white metal iterations and I had the opportunity to see the ethical white gold piece during my last visit to the boutique: It was quite difficult to capture the beauty of the black Grand Feu enamel with the boutique lighting: It...
I agree
Everything is right about this watch except for the price. It’s a watch I’ll buy in 10 years for $20k-25k
I went for the white gold and adore it. Both are wonderful.
Agree on the price, but could not resist the black enamel. ...
White/black.
But it's a close call. Each have their charms (our quattro's pics are very convincing). Enjoyed the write-up, mon ami.
It's a pleasure to read someone else's review of a watch you own: thank you!
Regarding the price, when it was still around €40,000 in 2021, I found it quite reasonable for what is offered: enamel dial, jumping hour complication, COSC caliber with 8 days of power reserve, and Hallmark of Geneva. I don't think VC or PP would have ev...
I've seen both versions...while the RG version is sober and classic - given a chance, the one I would pick is the black enamel white metal version
I just wish it was Pt - Black enamel considering the price but it is what it is ! Best, mahesh., ...
