The collection’s parameters for its exclusivity not only include rarity and significance in the watch world, but also the pristine condition of the timepieces. These include two exclusive, unique, and commissioned timepieces from F.P. Journe, Chronomètre à Résonance and second-generation Tourbillon Souverain, 'Reference TN'.
The Chronomètre à Résonance that will be offered for bids has an ice blue mother-of-pearl dial and is the ‘RT’ or ‘Résonance Trois’ edition that was made only for one year in 2019 as the 20th-anniversary celebration of the model. The watch is the platinum version with a 40mm case, and is estimated to be sold between HK$5,000,000 and HK$10,000,000.
The other is the second-generation Tourbillon Souverain, 'Reference TN' for 'Tourbillon Nouveau', created in 2019 as a limited edition of just 20 pieces. The watch has an opulent ruby dial created by adjoining two crescent pieces having curves of varying radii, to meet the design of the Tourbillon Souverain where the counter and tourbillion apertures lie at the centre of the dial. The watch is estimated to be sold between HK$3,200,000 and HK$6,400,000.
