There are two of this exact watch as far as I know.

1) platinum and gold case, 2) red gold dial. This 1), 2) combo apparently only exists in one other watch. And that watch will never come to market. There are very very few two tone Journe. If you recall some came up a few years ago at auction. There is al

I don’t think there are only two.

The description says it was number 7 of a 20 piece subscription series. Also you can’t deny provenance has a huge effect in resale. Look at the Paul Newman Paul Newman. Compare that watch to any other Paul Newman ever sold before it. In the case of FFC it

If I was spending US$10m on a Journe…

…I would much prefer to have the two tone souscription Resonance with that dial (supposedly one of only two watches in this configuration) than Mr Coppola’s FFC. The provenance is totally irrelevant, at least to me, and it’s a current production watch. Re

Backsides

Any among us may have admired a good backside (on any gender) now and then. Having a less-than-compelling one myself (trust me on this), I perhaps compensate by acquiring watches with interesting reverses. Mind you, I am no connoisseur of haute horlogerie

Great writeup and photos!

Having first been drawn in by the Classique collection and then the Tradition, I hadn't paid much attention to the Breguet Marine line to date. Your review has shown me what I've been missing. I love it when members here review watches thoroughly and hone

An arduous task: strap change on a Breguet Classique (or, "Don't try this at home").

This past week I was either exceptionally brave or seized by madness, as I went ahead to change the strap on my Breguet Classique Réveil du Tsar grand feu dial, Ref. 5707ER/29/9V6 - one of those things about which they might say " Don't try this at home.

Phillips Auction - What I looked at during the preview

The headline was F.P.Journe and FFC, and there were some other fantastic lots from Journe on sale too. As per other posts on this, the results were phenomenal for the Journe lots. But there was also 100+ other watches to see and bid on. From modern indies

The 'problem' is not the price being paid for this timepiece, or for rare artwork, important automobiles, etc,....... the problem is the currencies.

Not sure if many realize that just yet in 2025, tho quite a few do and are swapping out their currency. Exchanging currency for items of intrinsic value is best right now imho. Truly hope whomever purchased this FPJ gives it back to FFC. It's his timepiec
