Early F.P.Journe Chronomètre à Résonance in Platinum with Brass Movement

F.P.Journe has become one of the most sought after and beloved independent watchmakers. Mr. Journe is one of the most significant watchmakers of the past century and the Chronomètre à Résonance is arguably his most iconic model.

This 38mm F.P.Journe Chronomètre à Résonance in platinum with brass movement is one of the first 70 produced. This white gold dial has developed a sensational and shimmery patina, which is the charm of these early Journe watches. We believe the case to be unpolished. The two-tone sub-dials are also original, which is important as these are sometimes replaced and ruins the look. It also has a thinner font on the power reserve. The engravings are not shallow, but it is extremely early.

This watch was originally purchased new in 2000 by an astute collector. It comes from the original owner and it is full set with the original box and papers. It includes a copy of original sales receipt.
