F.P. Journe is the first watchmaker to apply the resonance complication to wristwatches, utilizing two synchronized balance wheels to enhance the accuracy of his timepieces. The latest model in the collection, the "RQ" or Resonance Quatre, was introduced in 2020 and features an additional complication - a constant force mechanism, which further improves the reliability of the movement. This present example has a case crafted from pink gold and features an elegant salmon coloured dial, also made of pink gold. The case back showcases its exquisite pink gold movement, highlighting the balance wheels and constant force devices. This newest addition proudly continues the legacy of the Resonance collection.
