F.P. Journe Quantième Perpétuel Ref. QP Classique Platinum White Dial (2026)

The 2020 revision replaced the plate with a guilloché silver dial and applied numerals, and took away the decorative steel ring the first series had been criticized for. What survives is the thing that made the QP the most legible perpetual calendar built on the Octa base: four windows you set from the crown rather than with a pin tool, all of them flipping together at midnight. Boutiques and espaces only, never the wider retail network.

Platinum, at 40 or 42 mm and 11 mm through, the wider case carrying a noticeably broader bezel. The dial is whitened guilloché silver with a clous de Paris field at the middle, and the numerals and window frames are applied in 18K white gold. Day and month read at twelve, the date across two windows at six, and the leap year from a hand at the center of the dial.
