完整圖錄內容
First introduced in 2002, the Octa Calendrier enjoyed instant recognition at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and was honoured with the ‘Special Jury Prize’ by the most prestigious award ceremony in the watch industry. This annual calendar dress watch is quintessentially an F.P Journe, in both its design language and movement.
Housed in a 38mm case, the present Octa Calendrier is part of the 2015 limited edition box set of stainless steel watches that celebrated the end of Journe’s classical case size. The warm, yellow-toned dial creates the perfect juxtaposition against the cool steel case and is delicately finished with a softly-grained texture. To the left of the dial, the annual calendar takes center-stage as it indicates the day and month in two apertures, followed by an automatically advancing date for months with 29, 30 and 31 days. The overall dial layout is distinctly clean and legible, with the hours, minutes and small seconds displayed in a separate guilloche dial on the right.
While the timepiece itself is undeniably handsome, it is the movement that F.P. Journe is famed for. Since the debut of the original Octa Reserve de Marche in 2001, mechanical F. P Journe watches have been divided into two types of movements, the manually-wound ‘Souverain’ and self-winding ‘Octa’ (Latin for ‘infinite’). Remarkably, all models in Octa family are identical, both in diameter and thickness, equipped with fully-integrated complications in the same volume. This automatic, caliber 1300.3 movement is crafted in pink gold and boasts hand-finished fausses côtes embellishments.
By tastefully balancing sophisticated functions through harmonious proportions and an intelligible dial layout, the present stainless steel Octa Calendrier, numbered 27 of a limited edition of 38 pieces, achieves a subtle perfection that reflects its creator's unwavering standards. It invites its wearer to witness Journe's genius that transforms technology into an artform. An opportunity as rare as the watch itself, Phillips is delighted to offer the present Octa Calendrier alongside other watches from the set, including the Octa Réserve de Marche, the Chronomètre à Résonance, the Chronomètre Souverain and the Tourbillon Souverain in our current auction.

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.
