Catalogue Essay
- When F.P. Journe first introduced the Octa collection in 2001, it marked one of the brand's pioneering serialised models. After earning appreciation from enthusiasts and collectors alike, Journe decided to enhance the Octa's functionality by introducing the improved cal. 1300.3, requiring less movement from the wearer to stay wound.
- Blending comfort, innovation, and personality, the Octa Automatique Rèserve highlights caliber 1300.3 with a variable inertia balance wheel for optimal stability. Its uni-directional 22K pink gold rotor optimizes winding from the slightest wrist motion. With a one-meter mainspring and rapid automatic winding, the movement provides over five days of autonomy - an ease of wear surpassing the ordinary. The legible central hours and large date further enhance functionality.
- This rare Octa Automatique Réserve is from the exclusive Boutique Collection, available only in F.P. Journe boutiques. In production between 2009 and 2018, this edition features a striking pink gold case and black dial, distinguishing it from standard Octa Automatique Réserve watches.
- The present example is possibly the first of its kind to appear at auction. Offered in attractive condition complete with its original guarantee and accessories, this FP Journe Boutique Edition timepiece will undoubtedly captivate the growing cohort of enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

Provenance
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.
