專家說明

A historic piece of Formula 1 memorabilia as well as one of the rarest models of F.P. Journe’s production, this Ruthenium Octa Calendrier is number 92 of only 99 pieces made between 2002 and 2006. One of the set of 5 watches of F.P. Journe’s ‘Ruthenium Collection’, each numbered 92/99 from the Michael Schumacher collection.

A prize catch for enthusiasts of both F.P. Journe and Formula 1, this important timepiece provides collectors with not only the opportunity to obtain one of F.P. Journe’s coveted Ruthenium Collection models but to also own an example with incredible provenance to one of the world’s greatest ever Formula 1 Champions.

Octa Chronographe
The Octa Chronographe is one of the rarest and most intriguing of François-Paul Journe’s early series wristwatches with only 313 examples ever made across all production. The present watch as part of the ‘Ruthenium Collection’ is particularly desirable as part of the early ‘brass movement’ era watches and is hardly ever seen at auction. Technically brilliant, the Octa Chronographe uses the same caliber 1300 as other Octa models but is fitted with an integrated stopwatch mechanism on the dial plate. This allowed the Chronographe to be the same height as other Octa models, a quite remarkable achievement. The Octa Chronographe was replaced by the ‘Centigraphe’ in 2008.
