You are comparing Perpetual Twin with the new Lunar One
. Perpetual Twin does not have the moon phase and the movement 96.22L doesn’t have Geneva seal. It can also be had in SS. Previous Lunar One shares the same movement as the new one 96.13L that comes with the Geneva seal.
New Perpetual Calendar & Tourbillon from Chopard
L.U.C Lunar One A n historical L.U.C comp l ication: the perpetual calendar with astronomical moon phase in a reshaped aesthetic Since being the first ‘ calendar and astronomy ’ complication presented by Chopard Manufacture in 2005 , the L.U.C Lunar One m...
What great news!
I always liked the LUC complicated pieces but they were too big. At around 40mm by 11.5 seems great.
I loved everything about these watches,until .....
...I saw the absolutely ridiculous price point !!
Applause at first, but then looking at the specs I'm a little disappointed.
First, I applaud the design is so much better than the previous one. Then I applaud a second time, it's now got the Geneva Seal. But then I start looking at the statistics... And I see two big problems; The price is $30,000 higher than the previous LUC Pe...
💯
I thought the old one was even thicker. I guess it appears so. They should have done thinner maybe it’s their barrel layout? I didn’t see the price until now, yea 30k is a big jump especially since LUC PC don’t necessarily jump off the shelves. I think th...

Right. I'm aware of the Geneva seal part.
I didn't explicitly mention the lunar moon phase part - but good point. The previous perpetual calendar could even be had in steel for a very palatable $28,000 USD. A strong value.
On photos, I find a lot to love here, except the insane price.
One detail I particularly like is the new larger crown: wonderful. And the only detail I’m not fond of concerns the design of the new Dauphine-fusée hands, with the V shape at the jonction of the Dauphine and fusée part (instead of the structure in the sh...
These look so much nicer without the large Roman numerals, finally!
I’m quite surprised by the various comments above, quoting the high price point. If we’re referring to perpetual calendar, isn’t a grand complication perpetual calendar from such a brand be in that range? I’m comparing Patek Philippe VC and Langematik to ...
You are right!
The Lunar One with Geneva Seal is in that quality range as Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. However, the Chopard LUC series has a wider variance; you have some "mid-high quality level" models that are much less expensive, and you have some "Geneva-...
The last gen Lunar One with the same movement and bigger case (more gold :) ) was $70k.
So a $15k increase is pretty significant. the problem is that the cost of these watches will likely be less than 50% on second-hand market, so it doesn't do any good to the perceived value of a new one.
