F.P. Journe Vagabondage I Ref. V Limited Series Rose Gold Slate Grey Dial Limited Edition of 68

Rose gold and the larger of the two Vagabondage cases, which makes this the most physically present version of the first series. The wandering hour disc is the point of the watch, since the numeral moves rather than a hand, so the time is read where it happens to be rather than where a pointer is aimed. Journe has never repeated the idea outside this line, and the line itself ran for only a few years.

The rose gold case runs 45 by 37 mm in the flat tortue shape, long on the wrist and low against it. A slate gray dial carries the sapphire disc and its aperture, framed by an outer track of screwed steel elements. Warm gold around a gray face is the softest reading of the series, and the folding clasp is gold to match. It wears far more comfortably than the dimensions suggest.
