F.P. Journe Quantième Perpétuel Ref. QP Octa Rose Gold Salmon Dial

Rose gold case, rose gold bracelet and a 5N gold plate under the dial make this the warmest QP Journe built in the whole first series. The calendar is the same either way: two apertures at twelve for day and month, a wide date at six, and a leap year hand at the middle, all of them jumping together on the stroke of midnight. The Octa base carries all of it without growing any thicker.

An 18K 6N gold case at 40 or 42 mm, matched to a bracelet in the same alloy. The plate is 5N gold, so warmth runs from the case into the dial and only the whitened silver behind the windows breaks it up. A corrector hidden under the lug at one o'clock sets the month and the leap year without a tool of any kind. The rest is corrected from the crown.
