Rose gold, chocolate, and four amethysts.

Most dress watches hide their lugs. The Imperiale makes them the design: two short columns on each side of the case, like the handles of an amphora, each finished with a rounded amethyst. The crown carries a fifth. It is the detail that makes the watch readable across a table, and in rose gold with a brown dial the purple stones are the only cool colour on it.

The dial is a sunburst that goes from milk chocolate to near-black as the wrist turns, with Roman numerals at the quarters and thin gold batons between them. The hands are spades, a shape Chopard has used on the Imperiale since the 1990s, and the date sits at three with a small frame. The strap is brown alligator, the one the reference ships on.

The listing is a title and a model number: Chopard Imperiale Ladies Rose Gold Brown Leather Strap Watch 384221-5009. There are no spec rows and no description, so there is nothing to contradict, and the photograph matches the reference: rose gold case, amethyst cabochons, brown dial, date at three, brown alligator strap. The case size, automatic movement, reserve and water resistance here are Chopard’s published figures for the 36mm rose gold Imperiale automatic, not the dealer’s, and the buckle type is not stated.

Whether the watch is new with Chopard’s warranty is not stated in the rows we read; ask, and ask for the box and papers. Every figure here comes from the listing and from Chopard’s published description, not from handling the watch.

This is a regular Amazon listing from an independent dealer, Luxor Watches on the day we read it, with Amazon’s 30-day return window; it is not a Luxury Stores pre-owned unit. The second button opens the live search for rose gold Imperiales in case this one has sold.

Gold Chopards have resold for under new and close to what pre-owned buyers paid, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.
