Octa Lune, Platinum

A second-generation Octa Lune with a white gold dial and 40mm platinum case. The Octa Lune is one of FP Journe’s earliest automatic models, core to the brand’s identity and easily their most romantic complication. In the year of its release, it immediately won the ‘Men’s Watch’ award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. The second generation of Octa Lune featured bidirectional winding and silver guilloché, both of which were lost in the third generation. Only in production for a few years, calibre 1300.2 Octa Lunes are ever less produced than the earlier brass movement Octa Lunes. This is one of the most restrained, refined, and artful self-wound watches ever made, a modern classic of independent watchmaking.
