Dear watch aficionado.
One of the most special timepieces made by an independent watchmaker which I saw in the past years is the prototype Tourbillon by François Paul Journe N°15/93. It was sold last November for 7.3 million CHF. Now it will be interesting to see when the N°16/93 will hit the market, maybe next year, and for how much that one will be sold for. The N°11/91 will certainly never hit the market, as it still belongs to FPJ himself and it probably will be displayed at his museum.
On the second photo you see the FPJ together with the unique Philippe Dufour Duality, which was sold for 1.5 million CHF, which is not a really high price for that watch I think; and with the unique Oval Tourbillon made by Derek Pratt, which was sold for 3.6 million CHF, which is as well not a very high price for that special and unique timepiece I think.
