F.P. Journe Centigraphe Souverain

About this reference

The F.P. Journe Centigraphe Souverain in 18k rose gold was introduced in 2008 and remained in the catalog until the line was redesigned in 2017. Collectors prioritize this reference for the Calibre 1506, a manual-wind movement constructed from 18k rose gold that features a patented mechanism capable of measuring elapsed time down to 1/100th of a second. The dial is characterized by three sub-dials with red tachymetric scales, and the case utilizes a unique rocker-actuator at the 2 o’clock position rather than traditional pushers to control the chronograph functions. Early examples often feature "shiny" dials that are highly sought after for their specific texture. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades in the $100,000 to $160,000 range. A notable production detail is the "F" engraving on the rocker, which was omitted in later iterations of the model.
