Notes

To the delight of watch and vintage car collectors, Chopard is a sponsor of the famous Italian Car Race "Mille Miglia". hi the 1995 "Mille Miglia" (May 18-21), Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Vice- President of Chopard, together with co-pilot Jacky Ickx, drove a 1955 Porsche 550A Spyder, from Brescia to Rome and back to Brescia. To celebrate this special occasion, a new chronograph was made in 750 examples and offered to each participant of the " Mille Miglia". The first 500 watches were dated on the dial.
