F.P. Journe’s Chronographe Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco, a unique piece unveiled with H.S.H. Prince Albert II at the Yacht Club de Monaco on September 7, 2026, will be auctioned in partnership with Phillips on November 25, 2026, during the “Voyage Extraordinaire” gala dinner at Raffles Sentosa Singapore, held to mark the Foundation’s 20th anniversary. The brand’s own announcement confirms the date and venue. There is no price and no product page because the watch is not for general sale, and Phillips has not published an estimate. All proceeds go to the Foundation.
François-Paul Journe has made a Rattrapante, a FlyBack and the Centigraphe, but by the brand’s account this is the first classic chronograph he has created. The 42mm case combines platinum with 18k 6N gold for the caseband, crown and pushers, over a burgundy lacquered dial with numerals inspired by oracle bones, grey sapphire counters in titanium surrounds and the large date at 6 o’clock. Indices covered the unveiling in a Wire story on September 12, 2026.
