Chopard Happy Diamonds Sport featuring iconic floating diamond design in 18K gold round case with five mobile diamonds beneath sapphire crystal. Cream dial with quartz movement, 27mm case, original black alligator leather strap, complete with box and bracelet papers, circa 1990.

Strap purchased at Chopard boutique, with its respective papers included. This is effectively a guarentee by Chopard that the watch is 100% original, as they would not offer a strap for a watch with any aftermarket parts.

The 27mm round case features Chopard's revolutionary Happy Diamonds construction with double sapphire crystal creating a sealed chamber where five brilliant-cut diamonds float freely, moving with wrist motion to create dynamic sparkle. Brushed and polished 18K gold case combines matte and high-polish finishes for textural contrast while the integrated lugs set with blue cabochons echo the signed crown treatment. The cream dial presents concentric circular guilloché patterns emanating from center with minimalist time indication using simple black hands. Black alligator leather strap features subtle blue stitching matching the case cabochons, secured by signed gold-plated tang buckle.

Chopard introduced the Happy Diamonds collection in 1976, revolutionizing luxury watch design with the concept of free-floating diamonds dancing between sapphire crystals. Co-President Caroline Scheufele drew inspiration from a waterfall, translating the fluidity of water droplets into mobile diamonds that capture and reflect light with every movement. The Happy Sport line, launched in 1993, combined this playful diamond innovation with sporty case construction and interchangeable straps, creating one of the first luxury sports watches designed specifically for women. Reference 4116 from circa 1990 represents early Happy Diamonds Sport production, featuring the collection's signature aesthetic elements including round case architecture, floating diamond animation, and the combination of precious metal with casual leather straps. The five-diamond configuration provides balanced visual weight while the 27mm case size reflects period preferences for feminine watch proportions. As a complete set with original box and papers, this timepiece offers collectors authenticated provenance and investment-grade completeness. The Happy Diamonds collection remains among Chopard's most recognizable and commercially successful designs, with vintage examples from the 1990s gaining appreciation among collectors seeking iconic luxury watch designs with distinctive visual signatures.
