Journe  Octa Automatique Lune, Platinum, full set 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eWithin the world of modern independent horology, the F.P. Journe Octa Automatique Lune occupies a particularly persuasive position. It belongs to the Octa family, a line whose name, as Christie’s notes, was chosen by François-Paul Journe because “octa” means eight in Latin, while the figure itself, turned on its side, suggests limitlessness or infinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symbolism is fitting for a family of watches built around long autonomy, mechanical sophistication, and an unusually coherent blend of utility and elegance. Source The present watch is a platinum Octa Automatique Lune, identified as case no. 177-AL2 and dating to circa 2021. Its appeal begins with the dial, where Journe’s design language is at once technical and lyrical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristie’s highlights the presence of the maison’s patented large date display, a power reserve indication, and an 18k gold moon-phase display set against a blue starry background. These are combined with the signature inscription “Invenit et Fecit” and the brand’s characteristic rhodium-plated steel hands, resulting in a composition that is immediately recognisable to collectors of F.P. Journe watches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the watch is the 18k rose gold calibre 1300.3, fitted with an off-centre 22 carat gold rotor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristie’s notes that this movement was the first automatic calibre to provide 120 hours of power reserve, a milestone that helps explain the significance of the Octa family within contemporary watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat technical achievement remains central to the model’s appeal today, not as an abstract specification, but as part of a broader conception of useful, beautifully resolved mechanical watchmaking. For collectors interested in a platinum F.P. Journe automatic watch with both practical complication and intellectual coherence, the Automatique Lune has much to recommend it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristie’s described the present example as being in extremely good overall condition, and the watch stands as a particularly strong expression of the model’s enduring character: exclusive without excess, technically ambitious without display, and unmistakably part of the modern canon of independent haute horlogerie. It is a watch that speaks equally to connoisseurs of movement architecture, dial design, and the quiet authority of a mature F.P. Journe platinum watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSource Inspected by our team of watch specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in Dubai, UAE, with worldwide insured shipping available via Ferrari Logistics\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HORAMUNDI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55369778364708,"sku":null,"price":181000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8222\/1348\/files\/IMG-3138.jpg?v=1782657173","url":"https:\/\/horamundi.com\/products\/f-p-journe-octa-automatique-lune-platinum-circa-2021","provider":"HORAMUNDI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
