The F.P. Journe Octa Divine in a 36-mm diameter case is the first model by F.P. Journe to be set with diamonds and to feature center hour and minutes hands. But the recognizable F.P. Journe elements have been retained: the seconds circle in the lower right section, and the hour and minutes circles screwed to the dial. The watch shows the power reserve and moon-phases thanks to a metallic sapphire disk that moves one notch forward when the date changes. Available in three versions: fully or partially set with diamonds, in platinum or rose gold, on leather strap or bracelet. As shown, with platinum case fully set with 484 brilliant-cut diamonds (2.56 carats) and leather strap: $71,200.
