Lot Essay

The Octa Calendriar was Journe’s first annual calendar wristwatch and was produced between 2004 and 2014. With its unique date disc with retrograde indication and 18k gold movement (with a 22k gold rotor) with a power reserve of 120 hours, there was nothing quite like the Octa Calendriar when it first appeared on the market. Did we mention that all the indications are set via the crown without the need for extra pushers on the case flanks?
