About This Watch

Brand New! Comes with orig. boxes, manual, CD but no paper as this was a presentation watch to the actual driver of car no117 in 2010 Mille Miglia!

Ladies & gentlmen, we are proud to offer you this highly important Chopard watch. The 2010 Mille Miglia XL GT Chronograph. This is not just a regular limited edition but one of the only 375pcs given to the competitors in the 2010 Mille Miglia event! Watch number 117 belongs to Mr D. Waltenberg who entered a 1955 Aston Martin DB2 in this year's Mille Miglia and the car was given the start number 117. This number is printed on the rear of the glass & the case back is engraved with "Competitor" which the "regular" 2010pcs do not have. This is a true Mille Miglia watch with pedigree history as it was presented to the driver in Brescia, Italy where the event took place! It is probably the first of it's kind to surface in the market as most competitors would have kept it for memory but the owner of this watch has far too many important watches and of course cars to maintain, hence we are given the opportunity to offer it to you.

This is the latest model & just launched in May and not available in most parts of Asia including Singapore so we don't have the official price yet. It is Euro5800 in Europe.

Watch no.117, re-live the spirit of Mille Miglia which means 1000 miles is one of the most important event in classic cars racing calendar.

Originally, an open-road endurance race, the 24 original Mille Miglia races took place in Italy between 1927 and 1957 (thirteen before World War II, eleven after).  The race was eventually banned in 1957 after the fatal crash of a 4.2-lire Ferrari that took the lives of the Spanish driver Alfonso de Portago, his co-driver/navigator Edmund Nelson, and thirteen spectators, at the village of Guidizzolo.  The event was revived in 1982 as a road rally event which originates in Brescia, Italy and ends somewhere 1,000 miles down the road!  More at the Official Mille Miglia website!

This is probably the only Competitor Mille Miglia watch ever to be offered to the open market and it's most likely the first in the world now. This is a rare chance for you to own this important watch & it is sold with a photograph of the competing Aston Martin DB2 with an autograph of the competitor, Mr. D. Waltenberg.

This car, an Aston Martin DB2 is an important works vehicle in the history of Aston Martin, it was a prototype & the personal car for David Brown, owner of AM who raced it in 1950 Targa Florio, Mille Miglia & several others. It was fitted with over-sized 18" wheels & a 2.6L engine. UMC272 is an entrant of the prestigious 2010 Ville d'Este Concours d' Elegance & Mille Miglia.

It is very well priced for the collector & 3% discount for cash payment applies as usual. You can buy one of the 2010pcs but it would be near impossible to buy a competitor watch.
