- The Octa Divine was launched in 2003. Whilst retaining the 5 day power reserve the collection was known for, it was the first F.P. Journe wristwatch to feature central hands instead of the brand's signature offset time telling indications.
- The present example from 2010 maintains the original Divine dial (since then 2 other dial layouts/designs were made) but in an updated 40mm platinum case and pink gold movement.
- The watch features a large date, power reserve indication, moonphase display and offset subseconds.
- Offered in excellent overall condition the present Octa Divine is offered with its full set of accessories.

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.
