Francois-Paul Journe began his career as a clock restorer in France. Ultimately, the talented watchmaker created his own manufacture in 1999. His innovative approach to watchmaking and great sense of design inevitably made Francois-Paul Journe one of the most acclaimed independent watchmakers and the only one to win the celebrated Aiguille d’Or prize three times.

The launch of the innovative Centigraphe Sport in 2011 marked the start of the 'LineSport' collection, and the Centigraphe Sport made history as the first mechanical wristwatch ever made in aluminium. Already in 2012, F.P. Journe introduced the lightweight Octa Sport as the second model of the 'LineSport'. As a technologically advanced aluminium alloy that is normally found in the aeronautics industry was used, the exclusive watch weighs only 53 grams. The Octa Sport remained in production only until 2014, making it a rare model of the brand. The present lot is offered in great condition as a full set with warranty card and presentation case.
