Introduced in 2003, the Octa series was the first F.P. Journe model to have central hour and minute hands.  As with all the models in the Octa collection, the 18 carat pink gold movements paired with distinct dials exude sophistication through a simple aesthetic, however with a high-degree of mechanical precision.

This present lot was produced in a very limited number of 5 pieces in pink gold with a black mother-of-pearl dial specially for Sincere Fine Watches.
