Produced in 2014 to 2016 in very limited numbers, the present watch is in every way remarkable. As a legendary watchmaker, F.P. Journe received the honor to be the official watchmaker for the France-China 50 campaign, to create a commemorative watch that marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and China.
Encased in noble platinum, the blue colored dial matches one of France’s national color and complements the watch in perfect harmony. The red Chinese emblem beside the signature not only contrasts nicely with the dial but emphasizing this important milestone. The movement calibre 1300.3 is also a joy to look at. It required three years of active research and development to attain the incredible levels of stability and accuracy whilst having an amazing 120 hours of power reserve. Rarity is an understatement for the current piece as it delivers enormous sentimental value in strengthening the relationship between the two countries.
