F.P. Journe Automatique Lune Ref. AL2 Boutique Rose Gold Black Dial

Boutique Edition means a black dial in a rose gold case, sold only through Journe's own shops, and it was the first time black dials left the platinum Black Label pieces. On the Automatique Lune the result is a moon disc against a flat dark ground, which is the reading the complication was drawn for in the first place. It never entered the catalogue and was never advertised, so the only route to one is the secondary market.

The rose gold case is offered in both sizes. The dial is guilloché silver blackened across the surface, with the moon at twelve, a large date opposite and small seconds low on the face. Warm gold around a black dial is the most legible version of this watch, and the one most owners describe as the best looking of them. Blued steel hands sit over the whole arrangement and supply the only color.
