F.P. Journe has a noble vision of innovation, mechanical prowess, and fine artisanal craftsmanship. His timepieces are manufactured to the highest level in haute horology with every collection introduced. With an ever-growing demand for these extremely well-executed timepieces in recent times, the production has remained limited as each watch is designed and manufactured in-house, and finished and assembled by hand.
With its distinctive dial layout the Octa Calendrier is easily one of the most recognizable F.P. Journe wristwatches, delivering the master watchmaker’s unique aesthetics and finest horological craftsmanship. With a production run spanning from 2004 to 2015, this watch is increasingly sought after due to its rarity and mechanical ingenuity. Indeed, it was the first wristwatch to combine an annual calendar with a large date and a power reserve of more than 120 hours.
The watch features an annual calendar mechanism, eccentric time display and retrograde date. The present example, number 239-Q, is especially attractive. The watch was retailed by the distinguished Singaporean retailer Sincere Fine Watches, one of only 10 examples. Highly collectible, the piece combines a pink gold case with a beautiful mother-of-pearl dial.
Offered in excellent condition with an additional leather strap, this rare and historically significant timepiece is sure to be highly desirable among collectors.

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.
