F.P. Journe Chronographe Rattrapante Ref. CM Linesport Rose Gold Grey Dial

The Rattrapante is a split-seconds chronograph run from a single pusher, which is a difficult thing to build and a rarer thing to build well. Journe introduced it in 2018 and used it to launch the enlarged sports case, so every 44 mm LineSport that followed traces back to this model. In rose gold on a gold bracelet, it is the least sporting version of a sports watch. Split-seconds in gold is a combination almost nobody else offers.

The 44 mm case and bracelet are rose gold, frosted rather than polished, under a bezel with a ceramic insert. The dial is guilloché silver coated in ruthenium, a gray ground for the matte gold numerals, and the counters sit in whitened guilloché silver. One pusher starts, splits, catches up and resets, so the case keeps a clean profile despite carrying two chronograph hands. Nothing about the layout suggests how much is happening underneath.
