Up for grabs is an F.P. Journe Octa Automatique Reserve
Shortened reference “AR”, which is now discontinued.
This version is in platinum with 40mm case and silver guilloché dial.
Serial number 002, so its the second one to ever leave the atelier. It is believed that usually serial number 1 goes to one of the top FPJ clients or is kept by Francois for the museum/personal. This is not a fact, just a rumor. Either way, serial number 002 makes it a bit more special in my opinion. Warranty card is dated in early 2007.
Condition wise the watch is excellent. No dings, dents, or deep scratches.
A very attractive whitened guilloché silver dial contrasts nicely with blued steel hands.
The watch comes on FPJ light gray croc strap in excellent and barely worn condition with FPJ platinum tang buckle.
This watch comes as a complete set with FPJ large Octa boxes, manual, polishing cloth and warranty card.
