F. P. Journe is a 21st century watchmaker with 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, manufactured, finished, and assembled by hand.

Made between 2005 and 2014, the present Octa Calendrier features a 40mm platinum case with an 18 karat rose gold automatic movement. One of the first models introduced in the Octa series, the Octa Calendrier features an annual calendar complication with retrograde-style date sector, presented in the firm’s iconic asymmetrical dial layout. Fitted with a 22 karat gold off-centered rotor, the feature enables a higher efficiency of self-winding. The watch has a contemporary look, with unequivocal signs of traditional watchmaking thanks to the iconic blued steel hands and guilloché decoration on the main dial.

The present F.P. Journe Octa Calendrier in platinum from approximately 2008 with an attractive grey dial is offered for the first time at auction with its complete set of accessories. With a substantial surge in demand for F.P. Journe timepieces today, this is a great opportunity for collectors to acquire a discontinued example of one of the most iconic models manufactured by the firm.
