Certified Pre-Owned F.P. Journe finally on the market

01/09/2023

In the world of watch collecting, the problems of buying pre-owned timepieces are well-known. Authenticity, part originality, servicing history, and trustworthiness of sellers often discourage collectors. Fixing these points, F.P. Journe has started the "Patrimoine" program, enabling collectors to get rare, discontinued watches that have been perfectly serviced, restored, and validated.

F.P. Journe's "Patrimoine" concept is straightforward. The brand sources and manages timepieces from past collections no longer in production, like brass movement, limited editions, and unique creations. Francois-Paul Journe personally approves each acquisition, ensuring only the finest qualify.

Once in Geneva's workshops, each watch undergoes comprehensive inspection, restoration, and updates. Movements are serviced, parts replaced, and cases restored, with everything done in-house, taking care of authenticity and quality.

A great feature of the "Patrimoine" program is the provision of a three-year sales warranty and new box and warranty card, raising confidence in purchases.

Beyond restoring timepieces, "Patrimoine" offers rare editions no longer in production. Initial offerings include pieces like the 2001 Tourbillon Souverain, 2001 Chronomètre à Resonance, 2004 Octa Calendrier, and the timeless 2013 Tourbillon T30 Historique.

F.P. Journe's "Patrimoine" initiative shows the brand's commitment to image control and secondary market integrity. By offering restored watches directly to collectors, the brand curtails unauthorized dealers and gray-market traders.

In a market where trust is essential, "Patrimoine" signifies innovation and reliability. F.P. Journe's move improves the collector experience and reinstates confidence in buying used watches. The launch of "Patrimoine" marks an important moment for collectors, with each restored timepiece adding to F.P. Journe's legacy.
