Souscription: The term "Souscription" refers to a period during which the watch was offered at an introductory price to the brand's early clients. It is an emblematic model that marked the beginnings of F.P. Journe.

The F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souscription exemplifies modern horological art, combining aesthetics, technique, and history. It represents not only a coveted piece for collectors but also a hallmark of prestige in the watchmaking world. This historic and unique example is a landmark in FP JOURNE's heritage, being both the last Souscription sold By Monsieur FP JOURNE and the First Platinum Tourbillon Souverain to receive the "Remontoir d’Egalité" inscription on his dial.
