Racer's Edge: Chopard Mille Miglia GTXL Gran Turismo 8997 Ivory Dial

The partnership between Chopard and the legendary Mille Miglia classic car race is one of the most enduring in the watch world. This collaboration gave birth to the Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Gran Turismo, Reference 8997, a timepiece that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of vintage racing.

With its bold 43mm stainless steel case and distinctive retro aesthetics, it's a luxury sports watch designed for those with a passion for speed and style. The standout feature of this specific model is its refined ivory dial, offering a softer, more sophisticated look compared to standard black or silver options, while maintaining excellent legibility.

Condition Report: Excellent Grade B

At RYBrandshop, we prioritize transparency in our condition assessments. This Mille Miglia GT XL is rated as Grade B (Excellent Condition). The watch has been professionally polished and cleaned, restoring a brilliant luster to the high-grade stainless steel case.

While it is in fantastic overall shape, close inspection reveals minor surface scratches on the case, consistent with respectful use. However, the scratch-resistant sapphire glass, fixed bezel, hands, and the beautiful ivory dial are all in pristine, beautiful condition. The iconic rubber strap—featuring the 1960s Dunlop racing tire tread pattern—shows only minor signs of wear and remains supple, accommodating wrist sizes up to 19.5cm.
