Description
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 pieces (apart from the Chronomètre Souverain) in the collection have been discontinued.
Moreover, the original version of the Tourbillon Souverain had never been made with a gold movement. This example was originally made between 1999 and 2003 with a ‘Remontoir d’Egalité’; rather than a dead-seconds complication. It was also the very first production watch made by Journe. This example, represents the first original version of the Tourbillon Souverain to have been made with a gold movement - a fitting successor to François-Paul Journe’s very own tourbillion wristwatch.
This pre-owned watch was taken out and worn on less than a dozen occasions by its original owner, thus the watch is preserved in exceptional condition. It has also never been serviced or polished and it keeps excellent time. The watch comes in its original wooden box for holding five watches, with the set's original certificate, and a letter confirming its originality from A Collected Man. The watch is guaranteed for authenticity and comes with a two-year warranty from A Collected Man.
Other watches from the set, including the Octa Automatique, the Octa Calendrier, the Chronomètre Souverain and the Chronomètre à Résonance are available in our collection of F. P. Journe watches.
Viewings are available at our office in central London, by appointment only.
