F.P. Journe Octa Automatique Ref. A 38mm Steel Set Limited Series Stainless Steel Yellow Dial

The Octa Automatique was made from 2001 to 2016 and was the first automatic watch F.P. Journe produced. This example comes from the 38 mm Steel Set, thirty-eight sets of five watches released in 2015 to close out the 38 mm case, each set in steel with rose gold movements. The Octa platform carries the family.

The steel case measures 38 mm and stands 10.2 mm deep, on a leather strap. The dial is gold with a bronze patina worked against whitened guilloché silver, and the hands are blued steel. It is the only self-winding watch of the five.
