F.P. Journe

Hi guys, some of you may remember this watch. It's a F.P. Journe Chronometre Optimum with a white mother of pearl dial. At the time this was the only one that had ever been produced in this combination. It was something really special to me, especially si...  

Beautiful FPJ and thanks for sharing your story. If i am correct I remember your trying to sell this watch on WPS back then .

Yes there is something special about any MOP dial.

It’s a gorgeous piece indeed, but maybe one day your paths will cross again...🙏

This was my last resort haha

Wishing you all the best in the venture you started with the proceed of this FPJ...cheers

Who knows one day I may come across this beauty again.

Indeed it’s a magnificent piece and super super super cool 😎 At the time I couldn’t afford it but it was definitely on my radar for a while... Lets all hope we can see it back on this site....

Yes, it sat up for sale for a while with some amazing trade opportunities but unfortunately I needed to sell.

Sad to hear it had to go, but I'm sure the future is bright for you and your business!

I appreciate your kind words. You have to take the risks to reap the rewards, I would have hated to have sat back and always wondered what if?

The backside? Pure art...

The one with the fountain pen is particularly awesome (but I could not recognize the pen...). Thanks for sharing, keep them coming

You did the right thing, no question. I do recall chatting when you had listed it. It really is amazing how perception and demand can change so quickly.

Yes, I remember chatting with you, it wasn't so long ago!

I’ve often wished I had the funds to buy it from you. It’s a spectacular dial. At least you have owned something truly special. I hope it has given you a great experience and some good memories. Your pictures are amazing. Investing in your life is always ... 

I actually wish that you had purchased it as I would be able to see it more often on here. I am happy with my choice as it was following my dream but also look forward to being able to add another piece from FPJ again in the future. Until then I have the ... 

I enjoyed the white as the colour was very subtle unless in the correct lighting.

Not sure if part of a personal collection or for sale. Gorgeous piece.

I believe that one is the white jade dial. You can tell the difference by the two separate pieces of jade to construct the dial. Look at 3 and 9 on the dial and you will understand what I mean.

Thx.

You are very lucky to have ever owned it, and best of luck in your business venture!
