The present F.P. Journe Octa Lune Black Label is offered in the coveted Black Label configuration, distinguished by its deep black dial and contrasting numerals. Produced in extremely limited numbers, Black Label watches were available exclusively through F.P. Journe boutiques and reserved for the Maison’s most valued clients, subject to the personal approval of François-Paul Journe himself.
The model features a moon phase display, large date aperture, and power reserve indication, and is powered by the manufacture’s automatic Octa calibre with an impressive five day power reserve.
Sought after for its discretion and rarity, the Octa Lune Black Label holds particular appeal among collectors of F.P. Journe timepieces. The present example is further accompanied by its full set of original accessories, enhancing its desirability.
