Discontinued from F.P. Journe’s collection in 2014, the Octa Calendrier is a highly noteworthy model as it not only features an important automatic caliber that provides an exceptional 5-day power reserve, it is also F.P. Journe’s first model to showcase the annual calendar function.
While it may not be noticeable, F.P. Journe had also carefully considered all aspects of the watch including its legibility. The contemporary asymmetrical dial ensures that all calendar functions of the watch are placed toward the left whilst the time stays on the right side of the dial. Encased in platinum, the present watch has been kept in very good overall condition throughout it’s years.
