The Chopard La Strada collection is a distinctive expression of the Swiss maison's expertise in combining fine watchmaking with precious jewellery craftsmanship. Inspired by the elegance of Italian cinema and the glamour of the silver screen, the collection is celebrated for its sculptural case design, feminine proportions and luxurious gemstone embellishments.
This Chopard La Strada Reference 136818-0019 is an exceptional jewellery timepiece crafted in 18K solid yellow gold, adorned with 116 original yellow sapphires totalling approximately 2.29 carats and 48 original diamonds totalling approximately 0.22 carats.
Its luminous mother-of-pearl dial, classic Roman numerals and richly gemstone-set case create a striking balance between traditional Swiss watchmaking and fine-jewellery artistry.
More than a conventional dress watch, this La Strada represents Chopard's ability to transform a functional timepiece into a statement of precious-metal craftsmanship and sophisticated design.
What makes this particular Chopard La Strada especially compelling is its elaborate original gemstone configuration, substantial gold construction and recent documented provenance.
The case features an impressive 116 original yellow sapphires, with a combined stated weight of 2.29 carats. Their warm golden tones beautifully complement the 18K yellow gold construction, creating a rich, cohesive appearance.
An additional 48 original diamonds, totalling approximately 0.22 carats, introduce contrasting brilliance and enhance the watch's intricate jewellery detailing.
Unlike aftermarket gemstone modifications, these stones form part of the original Chopard configuration—an important distinction for collectors evaluating precious-metal and gemstone-set luxury watches.
The watch's stated 37g gold construction gives it a substantial precious-metal presence, while the mother-of-pearl dial adds a softer, iridescent contrast to the richly embellished case.
Traditional Roman numeral hour markers preserve the elegance of the La Strada design, while its Swiss quartz movement offers reliable and convenient timekeeping.
Another particularly desirable detail is the presence of the original Chopard strap and 18K solid gold buckle, maintaining the watch's cohesive precious-metal presentation.
This example is accompanied by its Chopard box and certificate, with documentation indicating that it was sold through Cortina Watch Singapore in October 2025.
The combination of original gemstones, substantial 18K gold construction, branded accessories and recent Singapore retail provenance makes this a particularly interesting acquisition for collectors who appreciate jewellery watches beyond conventional steel or gold configurations.
At WLCSG, we have always appreciated jewellery timepieces that demonstrate how watchmaking and fine jewellery can come together in a single creation.
This Chopard La Strada is a particularly beautiful example.
What immediately stands out is the extraordinary combination of yellow sapphires, diamonds and solid 18K yellow gold. With 116 original yellow sapphires and 48 original diamonds, the watch offers a level of gemstone detailing that transforms its distinctive case into a true jewellery statement.
We especially love how the yellow sapphires complement the warmth of the gold, while the diamonds introduce a delicate contrast that catches the light beautifully.
The mother-of-pearl dial provides another layer of elegance, balancing the richness of the gemstone setting with its soft, natural iridescence.
Beyond its visual appeal, this example also offers several details that collectors will appreciate: its stated 37g gold construction, original Chopard strap, solid 18K gold buckle and accompanying box and certificate.
The October 2025 Cortina Watch Singapore provenance is another attractive feature, providing a recent documented retail history for this distinctive timepiece.
For collectors who appreciate substantial gold watches, original gemstone settings and less conventional luxury timepieces, this Chopard La Strada offers something truly different from the familiar designs encountered in the secondary market.
An exceptional Chopard jewellery watch combining 18K solid yellow gold, 116 yellow sapphires, 48 diamonds and a luminous mother-of-pearl dial—a remarkable expression of Swiss watchmaking and fine-jewellery craftsmanship.
