In the world of independent watchmaking, the 21st century witnessed a boom in talented watchmakers establishing their own, such as F.P. Journe. With an enigmatic vision of innovation, mechanical prowess and fine artisanal craft, F.P. Journe timepieces are executed to the highest level in haute horology in every single class. With an ever growing demand for these extremely well-executed timepieces in recent times, the production for these timepieces have always remained limited as each timepiece is finished and assembled by hand. Introduced in 2005, the Octa collection is the firm’s line of wristwatches all with a common trait of bearing a self-winding caliber. One of the first models introduced in the series was the Octa Calendrier, featuring an annual calendar complication with retrograde-style dates, presented in the firm’s iconic asymmetrical dial layout. Fitted with a 22K gold off-centered rotor, the feature enables a higher efficiency of self-winding. Discontinued in 2014, the Octa Calendrier is one of the most sought after timepieces from the collection. The present example F.P. Journe Octa Calendrier in platinum from circa 2008 with an attractive grey dial. With a substantial surge in demand for F.P. Journe timepieces today, this is a great opportunity for collectors to acquire a discontinued example of one of the most iconic models manufactured by the firm.
