Journe certificate of authenticity, additional new F.P. Journe crocodile strap The Tourbillon Souverain, a masterpiece of watchmaking by F.P. Journe, stands out for its complications: 1-minute tourbillon with constant power supply. The so-called remontoir exerts a constant force on the balance wheel and thus ensures that the watch runs consistently, regardless of whether it is fully wound or not. This ingenious masterpiece by François-Paul Journe is the first wristwatch to combine a remontoir d'égalité, a jumping second and a tourbillon. The present timepiece, which is offered in excellent overall condition, represents a unique opportunity for collectors of the brand. The Tourbillon Souverain was awarded the "Aiguille d'Or" prize at the "Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève" in 2004. It was also voted Watch of the Year at the major "Watch of the Year" awards in Japan in 2004. CHF 140 000 / 280 000 | (€ 144 330 / 288 660)
