FP Journe Octa Calendrier in Platinum

FP Journe at Watch Expo Newport Beach

showing a FP Journe Octa Calendrier

This model was produced between 2005 and 2014

World Premiere:
The Octa Calendrier is the first wristwatch integrate an annual calendar with a large date, and to feature a power reserve of more than 120 hours.

The annual calendar is the third complication to be integrated in the automatic Octa calibre. A calibre recognized as the automatic movement to feature a power reserve of over five days with a very high degree of precision – even when the watch is not worn! The originality of each complication in the Octa collection is the identical baseplate used for each model.

François-Paul Journe (FP Journe) has managed to integrate a sizable complication – a retrograde annual calendar – while maintaining the dimensions of the standard movement of only 30mm in diameter and 5,7 mm high.

The annual calendar indicates the date in two windows and it the date advances automatically for months with 29, 30 and 31 days. In non-leap years (three years out of four) the date is advanced manually from the 28th to the 29th of February by a simple turn of the crown. The date then passes automatically from February 29 to March 1.

Technical description

Watches with long power reserves have hitherto been handicapped by small balances which are susceptible to shocks and disturbances. The Octa’s compact construction allows a large (10.1 mm) balance to be fitted, giving greater inertia and stability. The free-sprung chronometer balance is adjusted by five turning weights that vibrate at a steady 21’600 times an hour.

Fully wound, the Octa delivers chronometric precision for 120 hours. The meter-long mainspring supplies an average 850gr of torque, limiting the loss in balance amplitude to 25% over the five-day period. Beyond that time, the watch will continue to go for another day or two, but the amplitude-loss no longer guarantees precision timekeeping.

 

Wait list or Wish List?

Are you on a “Wait List” or “Wish List?”

It wasn’t too long ago where you can walk into a Rolex Boutique, AP Boutique, or even a Patek Philippe Boutique to pick up the latest sport watch. It wasn’t too long ago where during the recession, each dealer had plenty of inventory of the hottest watches to sell. Makes you think, “I should have!”

Social Media Influence

Now a decade later, along with the rise of the digital age and social media, the watch game has changed. The reality is that watches like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet are demanding such high premiums on the secondary market, flippers around the world are here to stay and are the new norm. For those who actually are interested in purchasing watches to keep, Instagram and Facebook are shaping opinions about what to buy with who is modeling them.

Unfortunately, retailers are constantly being asked by phone, DM, email, text, and Whatsapp, for the latest popular stainless-steel sport watch. For some reason, they all want steel! Whether its the latest soda or pop-culture super hero in the Batman, Pepsi or Coke, Nautilus or Submariner, people simply want all the sport steel watches. But the dealers simply do not have them.

 

What can you really do?

These lists that people are constantly referring to have no order to them. The wait lists are simply a list for dreamers because most Rolex dealers are removing the “waitlist” from their vocabulary because its impossible at this point to track who wants what. But how can you obtain the sport watch of your desires?

Building a Relationship

One way you can look at it is simply is to build a relationship! Relationships, shopping the entire store in other departments, referrals, all speak to the relationship you have with any shop.  In simple terms, wouldn’t it be advantageous for any boutique to take care of their clients, rather than see one transaction for a flipper to get rid of a watch, and never hear from them again? Visit your retailer, let them know you’re not a flipper and you’re a genuine watch buyer. Purchase other goods and services! Repair your watch or service your watch with your local dealer, like Watch Expo!

Rolex Sport Watches | 2019

rolex skydweller

It’s easy to see that the preowned market for Rolex Watches is booming.  Most times, in the past, you would purchase a timepiece and the moment you walk out that front door, depreciation will kick in like a new car.

Time’s are changing! For how long?

Take a look at the new line up of what Rolex has to offer. Most believe that there is definitely a floor to which these watches will not go under.  In most cases, looking at recent releases from Rolex, values have actually gone through the roof. Check out some of the new releases from Rolex.

Furthermore,  some of these have definitely moved in the direction of climbing prices in the grey market versus hitting that low floor.  When you decide to purchase a Rolex watch, please check with us as we would be more than happy to walk you through the current prices compared to original listed prices.

Here are a few samples of recently released Rolex watches that have proven to raise values  rather than coming close to hitting that glass floor.

 

 

 

 

Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi | 126710 BLRO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rolex Two Tone Sea-Dweller 18ct Yellow Gold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rolex Yacht Master 42 White Gold

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looks as if Rolex will continue to bring strong values to the grey market with all their sport watches. If you need to source any of these timepieces, please do not hesitate to contact our team by clicking here: https://www.watchexpo.com/contact-us/
