GOOD TO KNOW
• All in one crown system for adjusting perpetual calendar functions
• Full set
-F. P. Journe’s Octa collection was first launched in 2001, making it one of the brand's very first serially produced models. After enjoying a much-appreciated response from enthusiasts and collectors, François-Paul Journe decided to enhance the functionality of the Octa by introducing the improved caliber 1300.3, which required less movement from the wearer to keep the watch wound.
-The successor to the Octa Calendrier, F.P. Journe’s automatic annual calendar wristwatch, the current Quantième Perpétuel was first introduced in 2012 in a 40mm or 42mm case in platinum or pink gold, like nearly all modern Journe offerings. Two stand-out features of the Quantième Perpétuel exemplify the genius of François-Paul Journe: simultaneous, instantaneous jumping of all calendar indications – the date, day, and month – at midnight, and the ability to simply adjust each calendar indication without the use of any tool.
-The present Quantième Perpétuel, in a 40mm platinum case, with white gold dial is beautifully finished with a frosted effect, complemented by radial Arabic numerals and blued steel hands. The watch is in excellent condition and is accompanied by its international guarantee card and presentation box.

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.
