F.P. Journe

F. P. Journe, one of the greatest watchmakers of the 21st century, possesses a noble vision that encompasses innovation and meticulous artisanal skill. His watches exemplify the pinnacle of haute horology as each of his collection showcases the utmost level of craftsmanship and quality. The Octa Calendrier model was in production for nearly a decade, from 2005 to 2014. The present lot belongs to one of the earliest batches, from the production year of 2005.

The Octa Calendrier was the first wristwatch of the brand to include an annual calendar along a large retrograde date indication. More impressively, the model features an exceptional 5-day power reserve where great accuracy is sustained over the course of the duration. While it might not be immediately noticeable, F. P. Journe took great care in addressing the details of the present watch, especially its legibility. The modern and asymmetrical dial design ensures that the watch's calendar functions are positioned on the left side, while the time is displayed on the right side. On the case back, a beautiful sapphire crystal exhibits the 18K rose gold movement, while the off-centered rotor enables greater efficiency for the watch to self-wind.

As the demand for F.P. Journe timepieces experiences a significant increase, collectors now have the great opportunity to obtain this discontinued model of one of the most iconic watches ever produced.
