Lot Essay
A prize catch for both F.P. Journe collectors and connoisseurs of independent haute horology alike, the present Octa Automatique Lune combines incredible good looks, technical virtuosity and great exclusivity. Furthermore, the present timepiece is offered in an extremely good overall condition.
The name ‘Octa’ was given as a prefix to all F.P. Journe’s automatic watches because in Latin it means ‘eight’ and the figure ‘8’ on its side signifies the concept of limitlessness or infinity.
Octa Automatique Lune
The Octa Automatique Lune model, as with all F.P. Journe timepieces, combines aesthetic beauty with high precision. The dial features Journe's patented large date display, power reserve and 18k gold moon phase with stars on a blue background and bears F.P. Journe’s signature and the Latin inscription ‘Invenit et Fecit’ (invented and made). Journe’s famously distinctive rhodium-plated steel hands complete the stunning effect. The 18k rose gold Journe caliber 1300.3 automatic movement has an off-centre 22 carat gold rotor. It was the first automatic movement to provide 120 hours of power reserve.
