For the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between France and China, Francois-Paul Journe with his roots from Marseille, was proudly appointed as the official watchmaker to represent the brilliance of traditional Haute Horlogerie. To mark this milestone between the two countries, a pair of limited edition timepieces were created, an Octa Automatique Lune with a novel French blue dial, and an Elégante with a majestic jade dial.
Part of the Octa collection, the present example is encased in a 40mm platinum case and powered by a 22K pink gold self-winding rotor with an impressive 120 hour power reserve. With a limited production, the official release of 10 pieces of this beautiful monochromatic dial with embossed red commemorative logo were only available from each of the ten F.P. Journe boutiques worldwide, with possibly in addition a handful more made by special request. The present example is offered in an excellent overall condition with its original accessories.
Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to UNICEF.
