F.P. Journe Tourbillon Vertical Souverain – Ref. TV – 950 Platinum – Box & Papers – 2023 – Like New – Full Set – Rare

We are proud to present this extraordinary F.P. Journe Tourbillon Vertical Souverain, a remarkable and technically groundbreaking creation from the legendary independent watchmaker François‑Paul Journe.

Crafted in 950 platinum and produced in 2023, this exceptional timepiece is offered in like-new condition and comes as a complete full set with original box and papers, making it a highly desirable acquisition for the discerning collector of FPJ pieces.

The elegant 42 mm case in 950 platinum reflects the refined aesthetic language that defines F.P. Journe. With its beautifully sculpted lugs, balanced proportions, and unmistakable presence on the wrist, the Tourbillon Vertical Souverain represents a modern evolution of the brand’s most celebrated complication.

The bronze guilloché dial is both sophisticated and highly legible, showcasing the watch’s defining feature: the vertical tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock. Unlike traditional tourbillons mounted horizontally, this innovative configuration is designed to improve chronometric stability when the watch is worn on the wrist. The two hard white dials show arabic numerals.

Powering the watch is the exceptional Caliber 1519, a manually wound in-house movement crafted entirely from 18k rose gold, in keeping with the strict manufacturing philosophy of the maison. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement reveals outstanding finishing, including circular côtes de Genève, hand-polished screw heads, perlage, and beautifully executed anglage, all assembled and adjusted by hand in Geneva.

The watch is fitted with a high-quality leather strap and an F.P. Journe platinum buckle, preserving its full originality and elegant character.
