Catalogue Essay
When F.P. Journe first unveiled the Octa collection in 2001, it marked one of the maison's inaugural forays into serial production. The watch immediately captivated enthusiasts with its technical brilliance, prompting Journe to enhance its functionality further by introducing the improved cal. 1300.3. Equipped with a voluminous 22 karat gold rotor and unidirectional ball-bearing system, this manufacture movement guarantees sufficient energy to power the caliber with ease. Journe's peerless engineering and meticulous craftsmanship have earned admiration from even the most discerning connoisseurs.
Succeeding the Octa Calandrier, the current Quantième Perpétuel perpetuates Journe's genius. Launched in 2012 in the maison's signature 40mm or 42 mm platinum or pink gold cases, this automatic annual calendar delights with its instant jumping of all indications - date, day and month - precisely at midnight. Adjusting the calendar requires no tools, only the push of a button. Drawing design inspiration from Journe greats like the Octa Divine, the current Quantième Perpétuel arranges its indications in a quatrefoil layout for optimal legibility. Subtly, the leap year indicator encircles the center.
This Quantième Perpétuel truly dazzles, with a frosted white gold dial and blued steel hands providing a stunning contrast to the clean radial Arabic numerals. Preserved in exceptional condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories, it epitomises Journe's blend of technical virtuosity and aesthetic mastery.

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.
