GOOD TO KNOW
• Boutique edition fitted with white/blue mother-of-pearl dial
• 40mm platinum case
• Complete set
The F.P Journe Chronomètre Souverain “Nacre” (mother of pearl in French) was reserved only for Journe's top clients and available for purchase only via the brand's boutiques.
Housed in an elegant 40mm platinum case, the dial center is decorated with Clous de Paris guilloché whilst the outer section of the dial is fitted with blue mother of pearl providing an exquisitely attractive and elegant result, encircled as though by the clouds themselves.
The Chronomètre Souverain is the simplest and purest iteration of Journe’s watches, with a deceptively restrained dial featuring power reserve and small seconds that belies the highly advanced chronometer-grade movement inside. The solid 18K pink gold calibre 1304 was built with the precision and technical mastery of marine chronometers in mind, as well as the wearability and comfort of the modern collector. The movement itself is a mere 4mm thick, and the overall thickness of the case measures just 8mm.
In lovely overall condition, it comes with its original accessories dating to 2021.

F.P. Journe
Swiss | 1999Founded by watchmaker François-Paul Journe in 1999, the F.P. Journe brand is relatively young, but already is as highly regarded by collectors as many distinguished manufacturers with centuries-old heritage. In the minds of the world's savviest collectors, Journe is producing some of the finest wristwatches the market has ever seen. Mastering his craft from restoring historical timepieces, he was the first to create a wristwatch incorporating two escapements that benefit from the phenomenon of resonance — the Chronomètre à Résonance.
Key models include the Résonance, tourbillon wristwatches incorporating a remontoir and the limited edition Vagabondage series. Especially sought-after are his earliest "souscription" watches, made in 1999.
