F.P. Journe Chronometre Optimum ref. CO “Platinum, 40mm”

Up for grabs is an F.P. Journe Chronometre Optimum

Reference CO

This watch was purchased new in 2021

This is a 40mm version with platinum case and white gold (gray) dial.

The Optimum is one of the most iconic watches Francois-Paul Journe has created. It is probably the most complicated watch without complications. The watch’s function is to only tell time, but getting there is quiet impressive. The ref. CO contains a majority of exceptional components, here brought together for the first time in a watch: 2 barrels in parallel, the constant force remontoire, the revolutionary new high-performance bi-axial escapement (EBHP), and natural dead-beat seconds. Due to these extraordinary technical achievements, this watch achieves the feat of telling time with near perfect accuracy.

The condition is well preserved and unpolished. Minor signs of wear, but no dings or dents.

The watch comes complete with FPJ boxes, polishing cloth and warranty card.

The strap is original FPJ gray leather with platinum FPJ buckle.
