A Collected Man is proud to offer a rare opportunity to acquire one of five pieces from an original box set, released in 2015. Each of the sets contained five of
F.P. Journe’s most iconic watches in stainless steel, with gold dials, rose-gold movements and sized at 38mm.
Thirty-eight of the sets were made to commemorate the end of the 38mm case size, (very much the choice of the original purist) and this was the first time that any Journe dress watch (excluding a grande or petite sonnerie chiming watch), was made available in steel. Four of the five piecesin the collection, including the
Chronomètre à Résonance , have been discontinued. Moreover, the original version of the
Tourbillon Souverain had never been made with a gold movement.
This example, the F. P. Journe ‘Chronomètre à Résonance’, is in mint condition and has perfect mechanical functionality. First introduced in 1999, the Chronomètre à Résonance was the second serial production watch by François-Paul Journe.
Other watches from the set, including the
Octa Automatique, the
Octa Calendrier, the
Tourbillon Souverain and the
Chronomètre Souverain are available in our collection of
F. P. Journe watches.
This pre-owned watch was never worn by its original owner, thus the watch is preserved in mint condition. It has also never been serviced or polished and it keeps excellent time.
The watch comes with a copy of the original set's certificate, and a letter confirming its originality from A Collected Man.
The Chronomètre à Résonance will be delivered in a personalised Smythson of Bond Street calf leather watch box. The watch is guaranteed for authenticity and comes with a two-year warranty from A Collected Man.
