When F.P. Journe launched the Octa collection in 2001, it represented one of the brand's first serialized models. After gaining acclaim from enthusiasts and collectors, Journe enhanced the Octa's functionality by introducing the improved cal. 1300.3, which requires less movement from the wearer to remain wound.
Combining comfort, innovation, and character, the Octa Automatique Rèserve features the caliber 1300.3, equipped with a variable inertia balance wheel for optimal stability. Its unidirectional 22K pink gold rotor efficiently winds the watch with even the slightest wrist motion. With a one-meter mainspring and rapid automatic winding, this movement offers over five days of autonomy, providing an exceptional ease of wear. The legible central hours and large date display further enhance its functionality.
A black dial on a F.P. Journe watch is always a special edition, and this rare Octa Automatique Réserve is part of the exclusive Boutique Collection, available only at F.P. Journe boutiques and not through other retailers. Produced between 2009 and 2018, this edition features a striking pink gold case, setting it apart from standard Octa Automatique Réserve models.
Presented in attractive condition, this F.P. Journe Boutique Edition timepiece is sure to captivate the growing community of enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

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.
