F. P. JOURNE, AN EARLY AND RARE PLATINUM OCTA ZODIAQUE WITH BRASS MOVEMENT
Early F. P. Journe timepieces were fitted with brass movements and these are extremely collectible today. Journe timepieces maybe synonymous with 18k gold movements now but the watchmaker only started crafting his movements in gold from 2004. The early production models, between 2001 and 2004, featured brass movements – an estimated number of around 2,000. As a result Journe wristwatches with brass movements are rare and signify an epoch in the celebrated indie watchmaker’s sterling career. The Octa Zodiaque is typically Journe in design and features the brand’s flat crown with a rope-like pattern. The month and the corresponding zodiac is indicated by two concentric discs at the periphery of the dial. The Octa Zodiaque had a short production run between 2003 and 2005 and was limited to only 150 pieces in platinum.
