Specialist note
This rare and highly sought after F.P. Journe Octa Divine is one of the early examples of a Journe watch made between 2001 and 2004 featuring a rhodium plated brass movement. Starting in 2004, F.P. Journe’s movements were made from 18k solid gold, a practice that has continued to the present day. As collectors focus more and more upon the genius of F.P. Journe’s timepieces, it has been recognized that watches with the early brass movements, such as the present Octa Divine, are important milestones in the brand’s history. It is thought that only around 2000 watches with brass movements were ever produced across all models of Journe timepieces.
