SOLD: F.P. Journe Elegante Titalyt 48mm

 

F.P. Journe Elegante Titalyt 48MM (case is 48mm tall, 40mm wide 7.95mm thick)

This quartz FP Journe timepiece is an extremely enjoyable timepiece, especially for those who live in tropical warm climates.  It even has a rubber strap that is easy to use and to change colors with. 

The "tortue" (French for "turtle") case features a titalyt coating that is resistant to extremely fine scratches (like sweater scratches that would otherwise cause a polished metal surface to have fine swirl marks) and the watch exhibits a modern appearance. Combined with the colorful silicon straps, this watch lends itself perfectly for casual weekend wear with a colorful linen shirt.  Again, the watch is not 48MM in diameter all the way around, the case is 40mm wide (3 to 9) and 48mm tall (12 to 6). 

The movement is also extremely accurate (it’s Quartz) and the watch is entirely reliable (it’s battery powered so it never stops).  FP Journe boutique staff anticipates with regular use the battery should last longer than a decade; up to 18 years if the watch is only used occasionally.  The watch keeps time as long as the battery has charge, but only displays the time when the wearer is actually wearing the watch.  Thus, when the watch senses no motion, the hands go to “sleep” to reduce energy consumption.  It's quite handy, whenever you pick up this watch, even after weeks of non-use, the watch immediately moves the hands to show the correct time.  

Condition:  Watch is in near new condition, and has been gently and carefully worn seldomly.  Watch is part of a multiple watch collection and is worn infrequently.  Watch has never been polished.  No case damage, never dropped, watch runs well.  Sapphire crystal has no chips nor scratches and is in PERFECT condition.  The bezel is in PERFECT condition and shows the watch was never polished.  Strap and clasp show ZERO scratches.  Pay close attention to the bezels of other similar watches, they often have little chips in the applied TITALYT coating and the base metal shows through.  The bezel on this example is in excellent condition.  A GREY strap is included.  An additional blue strap and an additional orange strap are available for purchase with their deployant buckles.  It's good to have a spare deployant buckle in case you scratch one of them! 

Provenance: Timepiece was purchased at FP Journe boutique.  All box and papers are present.  Grey, royal blue (not navy blue), and orange strap included.  Each on their own deployant buckles (no need to annoyingly switch buckles).
