F.P. Journe

Designed as a celebration of 10 iconic years of the Chronomètre à Resonance, the F.P. Journe ref. RT, amusingly dubbed “Parking Meter”, is both a commemoration and a reinvention of one of the brand’s most iconic timepieces. With a dial layout that allows the user to track multiple time zones, the RT features both the traditional time display, as well as a 24-hour disc alongside it, elucidating the “Parking Meter” moniker. Having been awarded the Best Complication Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horologerie in 2010 is perhaps the greatest testament to the significance of the innovation and craftsmanship of the RT. Featuring a dual-balance system, the Journe “Parking Meter” is not only an engineering masterpiece, but also of striking beauty. The 18ct rose gold case is contrasted superbly with the silver dials for the hours and minutes, whilst the striking red on the minute dial brightens the watch. Found in superb condition, and housed in its handsome F.P. Journe wooden presentation box, the watch is accompanied by Journe service history from 2019.
