ChristianDK celebrates the F.P. Journe Astronomic Bleu's impressive 1.8 million CHF hammer price at the Only Watch 2019 auction. This post not only highlights a significant achievement for a charitable cause but also underscores F.P. Journe's rising recognition among top collectors, building on previous Only Watch successes.
The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain represents the foundational timepiece within the brand's Souveraine collection. This reference demonstrates the manufacture's approach to precision timekeeping through manual winding mechanics, positioned as a core offering in F.P. Journe's lineup.
The 40mm case is executed in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel configuration. A sapphire crystal protects the silver dial, while the manual-winding caliber 1304 movement provides an 80-hour power reserve. The timepiece features 30-meter water resistance and is paired with a leather strap. Production commenced in 2000.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking F.P. Journe's mechanical execution in a fundamental three-hand configuration. The substantial power reserve and manual winding caliber position this model for enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking approaches within the Souveraine series framework.

And finally getting more recognition. Its a great day for the brand!
I also like the Akrivia at lot as well.
To have made this journey (pun alert!) with his own vision and in his own lifetime. It is an incredible and outstanding achievement.
