F.P Journe Platinum Octa Reserve

Renowned as one of watchmakings best living talents, F.P. Journes eponymous brand has grown from strength to strength over the last number of decades since its launch in 1999. As part of its stratospheric rise, watches like this Platinum Octa Reserve have been of the utmost importance. Featuring a wonderfully elegant 40mm platinum construction with an entirely polished surface and signature braided crown, it has contributed to the establishment of F.P. Journes immediately recognizable design language. With its display featuring a sandblasted white gold baseplate that houses its incredible 120-hour power reserve indicator and another whitened guilloche silver dial screwed atop this white gold base, the Octa Reserves overarching design language is utterly unique to F.P. Journe. Furthermore, so is its 18kt rose gold movement design. Made entirely of the precious metal, the Octa Reserves in-house automatic cal. 1300 movement is a sight to behold beneath its sapphire crystal display. The first automatic wristwatch to feature a 120-hour power reserve, the Octa Reserve is an iconic timepiece, and in its original condition with some age commensurate hairline scratches, our example is one of the finest on the market.
