Octa Jour / Nuit
F.P. Journe’s Octa Jour / Nuit was, interestingly, only ever available as part of the Ruthenium Collection. The model was never made in normal production and therefore it is one of the most elusive and sought-after of Journe wristwatches. The name ‘Octa’ was given as a prefix to all F.P. Journe’s automatic watches because in Latin it means ‘eight’ and the figure ‘8’ on its side signifies the concept of limitlessness or infinity.

This beautiful Ruthenium Octa Jour / Nuit provides collectors with not only the opportunity to obtain one of F.P. Journe’s rarest models but to also own an exceptional example with incredible provenance to one of the world’s greatest ever Formula 1 Champions.
