F.P. Journe Élégante ELHT

F.P. Journe Ref. ELHT Élégante 48

A well-preserved, highly sought-after, and impressive electro-mechanical titanium tortue-shaped wristwatch with small seconds, guarantee and presentation box. The F.P. Journe Élégante was officially launched in 2014, revolutionizing the concept of quartz movements. The development of the Élégante's electro-mechanical movement spanned eight years, showcasing the brand's commitment to innovation. Available in both 40mm and 48mm sizes, the Élégante is crafted from platinum, pink gold, titanium, and Titalyt, with select models featuring diamond settings, enamel panels, or precious stones. Powered by the electro-mechanical calibre 1210, the watch “hibernates” after 35 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life, pausing the movement of the hands. When the watch is moved again, a small motion detector located at 4 o’clock “awakens” it, allowing the hands to be readjusted to the correct time. The translucent white dial features black Arabic numerals and a chemin de fer outer ring, entirely made with Super-LumiNova for full luminescence in darkness, resulting in a mesmerizing electric blue glow. This sought-after Élégante features a light and robust 48mm titanium case that is suitable for everyday wear. Preserved in 'like-new' condition and consigned by the original owner, the watch is complete with its guarantee and presentation box.
