F.P. Journe Astronomic Bleu hammers for 1.8 millon CHF
Also congratulations to F.P. Journe on this amazing acomplishment!! I think the auction result can be taken as proof that the recognition of the brand is definately on the rise among top collectors.
F.P. Journe fans have been eagerly awaiting this watch for many years as it exsisted as a rumour among collectors. On july 1. we finally got an idea of what is waiting ahead. The prototype was put on auction for Only watch 2019.

Congratulations to the bidder who won lot 11 at the OnlyWatch 2019 auction. Well done! It is a lot of money for a good cause and something to be very proud of. Also congratulations to F.P. Journe on this amazing acomplishment!! I think the auction result ...
Estimate was 300-600.000
and first bid was milion and a half haha... FPJ is always on point at Onlywatch... great result for Hermes too... waiting for Patek in a few minutes...
yes, the heat was on!!!
well done by Hermes but they also presented something interesting.
yes,, I think so!
And finally getting more recognition. Its a great day for the brand!
I completely agree Christian...
I placed an order this week, but that’s another story.
Yes, he must be so proud!!!
To have made this journey (pun alert!) with his own vision and in his own lifetime. It is an incredible and outstanding achievement.
This watch is an amazing accomplishment!
Very happy for Journes work getting this type of recognition. Especially is this setting which is for such a good cause.
Truly agree! No contemporary comes near imho. Only respect and admiration.
Take good care my friend, Alex
Its a amazing watch , even better in person imho
Was lucky to have a good look at it yesterday
Wow, cool.
Please tell more. I sadly just couldn’t fit my schedule with the tour. I’m pretty certain I will never appear publicly again. Damned, I missed it!
Not much to say about it . Couldn’t play around with it that much . Just a couple of pics and a wrist shot .
But its impressive in person 😍 ...
Wow, cool!
It love the wrist shot. It is definitely a very wearable watch. It looks amazing.
Yes, it is really something special
And Im thinking, it was aclever way to introduce this watch! He certainly got everyones attention with the auction.
Anyone else disappointed it didn't cross $2M?
I was hoping the Astronomic would cross the $2M mark as it's certainly not 1/15th of the watch that beast of a Patek is!
Not me. It is a new record for FPJ by a large margin.
In relation to the Patek, I’m not sure what happened There?. The watch already exists in the collection and is just a different dial and a steel case.
It's a Patek :)
Even if they made simple steel 5711 with salmon dial for this auction it will surpass all the supercomplication of other brands and gone for 3-4 millions for sure... made this with grand complication and 10+ million is granted...
I wonder what the going price would be for the Henry Graves Supercomplication
If it was auctioned today?
Complication, history and horology wise, then HG SC must be 40+...
but lets not forget we live in a SSsalmon world today ...
