Lot Essay
The Octa Réserve de Marche has the distinction of being the first automatic model developed by F.P. Journe and the first mechanical movement with automatic winding to have a power reserve of over 120 hours. The model is the third creation under his brand name after the Tourbillon and the Chronomètre à Résonance.
Developed in 2001 and first released in 2002, the earliest examples of the model feature a 38 mm. diam. case and a movement composed of brass. In 2004, François-Paul Journe famously introduced the splendid movement calibers with baseplates and bridges made from solid 18k gold which have since become a signature feature of almost all F.P. Journe watches to the present day.
